Before a video call
The tech giant has now rolled out virtual background support to the platform. That means, Google Meet users can now replace their video call background with a custom image of their choice or choose an existing image which include office spaces, landscapes, abstract backgrounds and more.
A requirement to use blurred backgrounds and other background effects in Google Meet is to run the 64-bit version of Google Chrome. If you are not running this version of Chrome, you won't be able to activate any background effects.
To help limit distractions or make video calls more fun, you can now blur or replace your background or replace it with an image, an immersive background, or a video.
