The COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge for better videoconferencing tools.

Google Meet became one of the better options, for its versatility and customization options.

Now, the app is getting even better with the addition of several new customization options.

Google Meetis introducing a handful of new features to enhance personalization during virtual meetings.

The first feature allows you to combine multiple video effects on both web and mobile platforms.

This means you’re free to merge background effects with filter effects to create a more dynamic experience.

The second enhancement is a revamped user interface for effects.

The design is streamlined, making it easier for users to discover and apply various features.

Effects are now categorized into backgrounds, filters, and appearance adjustments.

Backgrounds are further organized into categories like new backgrounds, blurred backgrounds, and user/company uploaded backgrounds.

Filters include funny filters, accessories, costumes, and characters.

The appearance category allows users to adjust lighting, framing, and video quality.
