Do you know you can make your Google Meet background fun and interesting? Yes, you can do it easily. You can now blur or replace your background with an image, an immersive background, or even a video to make Google Meet more fun. You can customise your video by adding different lighting, colour filters, and stylized backgrounds. There are many times when we do not wish for others to see the real background behind us in a meeting. Google Meet offers an in-built visual effects feature that allows users to change the background of your video or blur it. However, note that background effects may increase your battery usage and your video may also be cropped to view other participants so some of the background or effect may not be visible to other participants.

Here’s how to change Google Meet background and make it fun and entertaining at the same time.

1. If you’ve already joined the meeting and want to blur or change your background, simply go to the self-view tab and tap Effects.

2. To blur your background follow the similar steps as mentioned above.

3. However, if you want to add your own background, tap on Add and select a pre-uploaded background

4. Tap the background that you want to use. You can even select a style, at the bottom or a filter as per your choice and tap close.

5. It’s done! Your background will be changed.
