The Google Meet app gets new functionalities, some of which we already know from Google Duo. From now on you can use filters, effects and masks in Google Meet.

Google Meet was previously aimed at the business market, but that is slowly but surely shifting to consumers. Eventually, Google would plan to replace Duo with Meet. Then it is useful if users can also play with the same features. The latest update announced now lets you use filters, masks and effects. Below is shown how that works.
