The fake meeting simulator generates a realistic-looking video conference interface in your browser, complete with participant tiles, a control bar, a chat panel, and a countdown timer that ends the session at a time you set. It can pull in your real camera, microphone, and screen share — or run entirely without any devices for a visual-only simulation. When the timer runs out, the browser redirects to Zoom's website.
Setting up before starting
Three fields to fill in before clicking Start:
- Meeting title — appears in the top toolbar; set it to anything you want displayed
- Duration (minutes) — 1 to 480 minutes (up to 8 hours); the meeting ends automatically at this point
- Participant list — one name per line; the first name is labeled "You" and gets your camera/mic input; everyone else becomes a simulated participant with their initials as an avatar
There is no limit on participant count. The grid layout adjusts automatically as names are added.
Real device controls
The buttons in the bottom control bar trigger real browser permissions:
- Microphone — connects your actual mic and uses audio analysis to detect when you speak; your tile gets a green border and a speaking indicator
- Camera — shows your live camera feed in your tile
- Screen Share — switches to presentation mode: the shared screen takes the main area, other participants move to a sidebar
The browser will ask for permission the first time each is used. You can use the full simulation with no permissions granted — device feeds only appear if authorized.
How the simulated speaking works
Every 2–5 seconds the tool randomly selects one virtual participant and adds a green border to their tile, simulating active speech. The selection is fully random — there is no way to script specific participants to speak at specific times.
