VU Meter for Google Chrome™

About

VU Meter for Google Chrome™ is a real-time audio metering extension for Chrome tab audio.

It displays professional-style VU, peak, loudness, and phase meters directly on top of the current browser tab or in a separate compact meter window. It is designed for users who want to monitor browser playback levels while watching videos, checking live streams, reviewing web audio, or verifying online program material.

Key features:

- Real-time stereo level metering for the active Chrome tab
- Peak and VU meter modes
- Adjustable VU reference level
- Peak meter floor options
- Momentary, short-term, and integrated loudness readouts
- Integrated loudness transport controls
- Phase correlation meter
- Compact frame mode that stays inside the browser window
- Separate window mode for flexible monitoring
- Automatic metering start when the meter opens
- Calibration tool for checking meter behavior with reference signals
- Clean, high-contrast display designed for quick visual reading

Benefits:

VU Meter for Google Chrome™ helps you quickly understand whether browser audio is too quiet, too loud, unbalanced, clipped, or phase-problematic. This is useful for live stream monitoring, online video review, web audio testing, music playback checks, and general audio quality control.

The frame mode is especially useful during live monitoring because the meter can remain visible while the source page continues playing. The window mode is useful when you want to place the meter on another part of the screen.

Privacy:

Audio is processed locally in the browser for metering purposes. This extension does not record, store, transmit, or sell audio data, browsing data, or personal information.

Important notes:

This extension meters audio from the active browser tab. It does not meter full system audio or external audio input devices.
