Google Meet refresh will give you more controls, video backgrounds
A year after making Google Meet free for everyone, the company is refreshing the video conferencing service.
The redesign will give you more control over highlighting the content you see on-screen by pinning or unpinning presentations, speakers, or multiple speakers, for example, the company said in a blog post Thursday. That includes repositioning, hiding or resizing your own video feed.
If cheeky backgrounds are your thing, Google Meet will support video backgrounds, and now Google Meet will offer light adjustments if you're over or underexposed while on camera.
In addition, a new feature called Data Saver will help you limit data usage on mobile networks.
