Google rolls out AI-generated backgrounds in Google Meet: How to use it

Google has announced new AI-generated backgrounds in Google Meet. The feature is currently under testing in Google Workspace Labs.

It will allow users to apply AI-generated background on their videos during a meeting. Google will allow them to pick from a range of categories and choose from a range of AI-generated backgrounds. Here is a guide on how to use AI-generated backgrounds in Google Meet.

Step 2: Click on the Apply visual effects icon at the bottom right of the preview and then click on Generate a background.

For instance, you can type “Luxurious living room interior” or “A magical sunny forest glade”.

Step 4: Click on Create samples to see some background images that match your prompt.

After you see the samples, you can change your prompt by clicking on the prompt at the top of the panel on the right, edit your prompt and click on Create other samples or see more background images by clicking on Create other samples.
