That's an interesting thought. One of the things that people told us was that the members of the meeting asked if anyone knew what this "notetaker" was, and everyone would say "no". They have a name, but from what I'm hearing, no one shared a name with the notetaker. So it would be like having someone try to join named "Frank's Notetaker" and no one in the meeting was named Frank. They also noted it was persistent, it kept trying to join the meeting.
I don't know that a browser extension would be able to listen into the call. I can't be sure it could actually tap into the audio stream in that way and listen to it. I know I've had some extensions installed in the past that let me change the audio level of a given tab, but not sure if that means an extension could actually read the audio data.
So if that's true, if an extension cannot get a feed of audio from a source like a meeting, then it would need to use something like the phone in option to call into the meeting and get the audio that way.
If it runs as an installed program on the host, it could hook up into the audio stream as an audio sink and listen to that; I'm not sure if it's possible for a browser extension to so that, there might be an audio equalizer that could be modified, but I was more thinking something like a true 'desktop' app or service
