Tickerline

Your name on your camera,
where people actually look.

Tickerline draws a broadcast-style strip over your own video in Google Meet. Your name and role, a number, a website — so nobody has to squint at a participant label or ask you to drop your details in the chat again.

Free. No account, no trial, nothing to upgrade to.

Illustration of the result. The strip scrolls, and sits on the frames the call actually receives.

Why it stays readable when other overlays smear

Meet runs your camera through its own background blur before sending it. Anything drawn before that gets blurred along with the background, which is why overlays usually come out muddy.

Tickerline draws after Meet's effects, onto the frames actually being sent. Your text stays crisp over a blurred background. There is no AI model involved, and the cost is under a millisecond per frame.

Coming to the Chrome Web Store. Until then you can load it yourself: download the latest release, unzip it, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, and choose Load unpacked.

Known limits, up front

Chrome and Edge only — it relies on insertable streams.
Google Meet only for now.
Settings live on the computer you set them up on. There is no sync and no backup file.
The “glass” surface is translucency, not a true frosted blur.
