Google Meet video calls can now be a lot more fun

You would remember the names of all the communication tools that Google has operated in the last 5-10. Yes, this is a rather difficult task that might upset the giant’s employees. At present, however, there is relatively order between these services and applications. For example, if we omit Gmail or News and look at chat rooms that can make video calls, for example, we’re left with Google Duo and Google Meet. While the first is intended for the general public and informal fun communication, the second (which recently replaced Hangouts) is more dedicated to businesses and consulting. Yet it is he who gets one very fun feature – animated background.

You can already set up an image in many communicators during video transmission, which artificial intelligence will draw around your character instead of a real background. The function is loved by both creatives and experimenters, as well as those who did not have time to clean up the camera. Meet is now taking this option to another level, with Google flatteringly saying it has Bring more fun into this predominantly business tool.

The last time we looked, he already had Meet three of these animated backgrounds. You can try them yourself. Unfortunately, it is not possible to upload your own animations to the Meet tool at this time, we tried gifs and mp4 videos. We will therefore have to be satisfied with the basic offer. So far, the novelty only works on computers.

What video would you ideally put for a background meeting?
