There have been some reports of Google Meet Grid View acting a little crazy for some users over the past few days. The culprit is one of two extensions in the Chrome webstore with the exact same name. They were being developed using very similar code, but have since diverged a bit.
This would be a great time to mention that Google Meet now has grid view functionality built right in — no extensions required. You should give it a try and see if you like it. One drawback is that it is limited to a 4x4 grid, or 16 faces on the screen at a time. The reason that Google limited this is for system performance. Rendering 30 video streams in real time is an enormous load on your device CPU, and often leads to stability issues. If you still need a bigger grid then you should make sure you are using the correct Google Meet Grid View extension.
