Google is rolling out new updates for the Google Meet app that include multiple new features along with UI redesign. Notably, the new update splits the UI into three tabs. Google Meet Backgrounds include high-resolution photography, immersive photos that feature movement like falling snow, and also 360-degree rotating images.
Apart from this, you also get the option to upload your image or generate a background using Duet AI. Google Meet's new update includes a new tab called Filters that can turn you into an animal and apply hats, glasses, and other accessories. Moving onto the third tab, which is called Appearance, where you can adjust lighting, framing, and video quality.
Google Meet is also getting Studio Lighting feature
Additionally, Google now lets you have Meet backgrounds and filters active at the same time. Google Meet shows a new ‘layer' icon in the bottom-right corner that can “keep track of which effects you’re using and remove one or all effects at once.”
As per 9To5Google, Google Meet is also gaining the ‘Studio Light' on the web, which will give you studio-quality lighting during your video calls. Google Meet Studio Light will give you an Auto option and a Custom option to let you tweak the changes to the lighting position, brightness, and color.
There is a set minimum requirement for this to work, which is “processor that is equivalent or more performant than Intel Core i9-9880H (8C/16T), Intel Core i5-1235U (2P8E/12T), AMD Ryzen 5 5500U (6C/12T), and Apple M1 (4P4E/8T).” The two Studio features require a Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on.
