Is Virtual Backgrounds for Google Meet™ safe?

Clean risk

Virtual Backgrounds for Google Meet adds a quick-access button to Google Meet that opens the built-in virtual background panel.

The extension injects a content script into meet.google.com that adds two buttons to the Google Meet toolbar: one to open the native virtual backgrounds panel and one to enable push-to-talk auto-mute (muted when spacebar is not held). All functionality runs locally within the page; no user data is sent to external servers. On first install it opens a welcome page on the developer's site (background-meet.dllplayer.com) and registers an uninstall URL on the same domain.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
