Chrome Extension
The Chrome extension gives users a lighter-weight entry point into Hyper when they work primarily in the browser. It is especially useful for quick joins, scheduling from the web, and reaching meeting context without opening the full app first.
Use it when browser-first convenience matters more than the full desktop layout.

The extension surfaces join, schedule, and recent context from the browser so users can act without changing environments.
When to use this

- You need a low-friction join path for people who are not always in the desktop app.
Before you start
- Confirm your browser management policy allows the extension and required permissions.
- Decide whether the extension should be self-installed or deployed centrally.
Settings and options
Extension behavior

Questions that come up often
Do I need the desktop app too?
No. The Chrome extension provides a complete meeting experience. The desktop app offers additional features like system audio sharing, but isn't required.
Does it work on other browsers?
The extension is currently available for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, etc.). Firefox and Safari support is planned.
Is the browser experience as good as the desktop app?
Very close. Audio, video, screen sharing, and all AI features work in the browser. The desktop app adds system audio capture and some OS-level integrations.

Limitations and rollout notes
- Extension behavior depends on Chrome policies, browser profile state, and sign-in persistence.
- The desktop or full web app still offers the most complete meeting management experience.
Troubleshooting
Clicking a meeting link does not open the extension flow
- Check whether the extension is installed and enabled in the active Chrome profile.
- Review link handling or default browser restrictions on managed machines.
- Fall back to the standard web join flow while the extension policy is corrected.
