What’s changing
Introducing portrait touch-up in Meet, a new feature on mobile that enables you to lightly touch up your appearance from the green room before joining or during the meeting. Whether you’ve just come back from the gym, are recovering from a cold, or are jet lagged, portrait touch-up is available to help you feel your best. You can choose from two portrait touch-up modes:
- Subtle: very light complexion smoothing, under eye lightening and eye whitening.
- Smoothing: slightly more complexion smoothing, under eye lightening and eye whitening.
This update has been highly requested by our users and we hope that by providing the ability to lightly enhance their appearance, they will feel more comfortable and confident with how they appear during video calls.
Additional details
In addition to mobile, we plan to introduce this feature to Google Meet on the web by the end of 2023. We’ll provide an update here at that time.
