If you use Safari, Soda asks for one more thing: turning on its Safari extension. It lets Soda tell who’s speaking on your Google Meet calls, so what’s said lands on the right person. Shortly after you first open Safari with Soda running, a window called Set Up Safari appears. It comes after setup on purpose, so if you haven’t seen it before, nothing’s wrong. Only Safari needs this. Safari hides who’s speaking on a Google Meet page from apps like Soda. The extension stops that. It’s already installed with Soda, so there’s nothing to download.

Turn on the extension

Soda's Set Up Safari window, asking you to turn on the extension.

If you haven’t allowed browser access yet, the window asks for that first, then moves on by itself. See browser access in Permissions.
1

Click Open Safari Settings

In Soda’s Set Up Safari window, click Open Safari Settings. Safari’s settings open on Extensions, with Soda’s extension selected.
2

Select the checkbox next to Soda's extension

It’s called Soda Meeting Accessibility. The Soda window closes by itself once the extension is on. That’s how you know it worked.
Safari Settings open on Extensions, with the checkbox next to Soda Meeting Accessibility selected

Safari's Extensions settings, with Soda Meeting Accessibility turned on.

​
Turn it on later, or turn it off

Closed the window? Nothing’s broken. You can turn the extension on any time. Until then, Soda can’t tell who’s speaking on Google Meet in Safari. The easiest way is to quit and reopen Soda, then open Safari. The window comes back. Or turn it on yourself: choose Safari > Settings > Extensions, then select the checkbox next to Soda Meeting Accessibility. To turn it off, deselect the same checkbox. Soda asks again the next time it opens.

​
Questions

Safari keeps extensions off in private windows. If you join Meet calls in one, choose Safari > Settings > Extensions, click Soda Meeting Accessibility, then select Allow in Private Browsing.
Each Safari profile has its own extensions, and they’re off to begin with. In each profile you take Meet calls in, choose Safari > Settings > Profiles, select the profile, then click Extensions. Select the checkbox next to Soda Meeting Accessibility.
