Google Meet gets new effects panel

Google is introducing a new settings panel in Google Meet for quick access to effects such as background blur, background images, and styles during Meet calls. This panel will also be available before joining a call in the green room self-check. In the green room, you can try out various effects to see how they work before joining a call with others. 

Note that the “Let users select custom images” option will be disabled by default for Education and Enterprise for Education domains. This update is available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers.
