Google Meet introduces video effects, lighting improvements in latest update،

Google Meet offers plenty of customization options for users on both web and mobile. The search giant announcement This week, three new features that will make it easier to customize your appearance in Google Meet are coming to the app in the coming days.

The first important new feature is the ability to combine several video effects. For example, Google Meet users can combine the background with filter effects to create a more dynamic experience.

A new layer icon on the AutoView thumbnail can now be used to track which effects are used. The same icon can be used to remove one or all effects at once.

The ability to combine video effects comes with a new, more simplified user interface, which should make it easier for Google Meet users to discover and apply various effects. The effects are grouped by categories: Background, Filters and Appearance.

Another new feature introduced with the latest update is studio lighting. This is only available to Google Meet on the web users and is included with the Duet AI add-on for Google Workspace Enterprise. The new feature can be used to simulate studio-quality lighting and includes the ability to adjust the position, brightness and color of the lighting.

Finally, “studio sound” is now available on the web, with support for the Meet mobile app to be added in the coming weeks. This feature automatically improves poor audio quality from regular Bluetooth headsets and connected participants using AI. Just like studio lighting, this feature is available with the Duet AI add-on for Google Workspace Enterprise.

iOS and Android users will get 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.
