That option to change the background is not available on mine.

[minsookang]

Now it's no longer change background but apply visual affects. Not to mention that I cannot seem to find the option to add my own image to use as a background.

[stevenclarke]

is it possible to set up a default background picture

[yogagurukm]

Very good presentation. Love to see your explanation. Thank you.

[AnissaLeavell]

Can you save your background selection or do you have to choose it every time you start a meeting?

[ananda_alai]

I don´t want any background, but this option is not possible... or is it...?

[NH-pkeb]

My hardware acceleration is turned on but I still can not access the visual effects in google meet.

Also can I change the background on an Iphone or an android tablet?

[Michaelarrickusa]

What about on a Mac? No change background option thank you

[ezequiasrocha]

It is possible to download default Google Meet backgrounds to my computer?

[davissusanlynn]

Please provide filters that can be used with a virtual background to compliment room lighting so that I don't look totally washed out or totally dark. It is so hard to get room lighting right and would be nice to get a little help from filters.

[rudyderose]

I don't have the feature that says change background

[lorrainemoreno]

Okay so maybe someone can help me so a year ago my kids changed my backround to out tv with twilight on lol and now I can't take it off you can't see any backround just that now and my face if I'm close to the phone. How do I get that off and have no backround

[bobcubsfan]

Does this work with Safari or Firefox on a Mac?

[serenitylesley]

How do we have it set up for all Google Meet calls instead of having to do it manually each time?

[williamarrascue]

I dont have the option change Do I do???'

[lordfiras]

what about mirroring the background image we are using, there is a logo and text it is appearing mirrored, please advise

[presentationskills]

I added my logo and it appears backwards (mirror view) . How dill the audience see it? How can I change my view to be the camera view?

[KatEyze]

The blur feature won't go away and the app shows no background. How do I fix that?

[Alex-P-]

Whenever I change the background, the browser starts lagging massively and once the background is applied, I also disappear. I can see half of my sleeve. The image is also EXTREMELY laggy.

What is this?
