How to Make Your Google Meetings More Lively – Animated Video Backgrounds.

Google Meet, Google’s video communication service, is one of the widely used platforms for video calls like Zoom and Skype. The app reached more people because of the pandemic and the work from home culture has made video calls the best way to communicate remotely. Google Meet had some audio and visual feature updates earlier and now the latest update says the animated background feature has come to make video calls more fun and private. This feature is already available on other video conferencing apps and Google wants its users to enjoy the feature now. Read on to find out how this background feature can be enabled.

The animated background feature is only available on browsers now and Google has said that it will be available on the Google Meet app soon. There are many animated backgrounds available, which are Classroom, Party, and Forest, and more backgrounds will be coming soon.
