Managing multiple online meetings across different platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet is a common frustration for professionals, students, and remote workers. Each platform requires separate logins, often involving passwords, two-factor authentication, or waiting in virtual lobbies—leading to wasted time, stress, and missed meetings. A tool that automates this process could significantly improve productivity and reduce friction in virtual collaboration.

How It Could Work

One way to streamline meeting logins is by developing a browser extension that integrates with calendar apps (Google Calendar, Outlook) to identify upcoming meetings and their platforms. Users could securely store their credentials, allowing the tool to automatically open meeting links, enter login details, and even handle waiting rooms. Additional features might include:

• Basic meeting controls (mute/unmute, camera toggle)
• Customizable pre-meeting actions (e.g., sending a chat message)
• Support for multiple platforms (Zoom, Teams, Meet)

For security, credentials could be encrypted and stored locally rather than in the cloud. Handling 2FA might involve prompting the user or supporting common authentication methods like SMS or app-based codes.

Potential Advantages Over Existing Solutions

While tools like MeetingBar simplify joining meetings with one-click access, they don’t automate the full login process. Similarly, scheduler tools focus on setting up meetings rather than managing attendance. A dedicated auto-login tool could fill this gap by:

• Reducing repetitive login steps across platforms
• Saving time for users with back-to-back meetings
• Improving accessibility for those who struggle with manual logins

Browser automation tools (e.g., Selenium) can technically achieve this but require technical setup. A user-friendly, meeting-specific solution could appeal to a broader audience.

Possible Path to Execution

An initial version could start as a browser extension supporting one platform (e.g., Zoom) with basic calendar sync and credential storage. If successful, later phases might expand to:

1. Adding more platforms and meeting management features
2. Developing standalone desktop/mobile apps
3. Integrating advanced options like AI-assisted meeting prep

Monetization could follow a freemium model—free for basic use, with premium features like multi-platform support or enterprise licensing for teams.

Key challenges would include ensuring platform compatibility and maintaining security, but a focused, user-centric approach could make this a valuable productivity tool.
