Google Meet's new feature lets admins provide custom background pics

Tech giant Google has announced that it is rolling out new features to its video-communication service "Google Meet", including the ability to allow admins to provide custom background images for their users.

"We`ve heard from our users that having backgrounds that match your brand guidelines are important for visual polish during critical meetings," the tech giant said in a Workspace Updates blogpost on Tuesday.

With the new feature, admins can provide a set of images for the "background replace" feature in Google Meet.

This will allow users to easily select an image that properly represents their company`s specific brand and style.

Also, the tech giant is rolling out "External" labels for Meet participants.

"Users will see a label in the top-left corner of their meeting screen indicating that participants who are external to the meeting host`s domain have joined the meeting," the company said.

Meanwhile, last month, the tech giant had launched several new 360-degree video backgrounds for Meet users on mobile for both iOS and Android.
