Google Meet is adding new customization options for users on web and mobile. The app will soon be getting three new features that will allow users to personalize their appearance in Google Meet.
The first new feature will allow users to combine multiple video effects. This means that users can combine background with filter effects to create a more dynamic experience. Users will also be able to keep track of which effects they are using and remove them individually or all at once using a new layer icon on the self-view tile.
Additionally, a new, more streamlined user interface will make it easier for Google Meet users to discover and apply various effects. The effects will be grouped by categories: Background, Filters, and Appearance.
Another new feature introduced with the latest update is studio lighting, which will be available for Google Meet users on the web. This feature is included with the Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on and can be used to simulate studio-quality lighting and includes the ability to adjust lighting position, brightness, and color.
The “studio sound” feature is now available on the web, with support for the mobile Meet app to be added in the coming weeks. This feature automatically improves poor audio quality from typical Bluetooth headsets and dial-in participants by using AI. This feature is also available with the Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on.
Both iOS and Android users will be getting some of these features in the next two weeks, while Google Meet users on the web should get them by the end of the month.
