• Pushing it will start the remote
• There will be ip address on the top which has to be enetered in the extension popup to connect the 2 devices.
• After the connection, the channels (different meet tabs/windows/instances) can be selected.
• Now, that channel is selected, pass along the commands TOGGLE MUTE, MUTE, UNMUTE etc.

I know the code is a bit messy and improvisation from your side will be deeply appreciated. The UI of the extension popup as well as the example app is off but the things just work out.
