Important: This feature is available to users on work or school accounts through a Gemini for Google Workspace add-on, and to users on personal accounts through Google One AI Premium. Learn about Gemini features and plans.
This feature is also available through our early access testing program, Google Workspace Labs.
On Google Meet, you can use the "Generate a background" prompt to create background images using artificial intelligence. For example, you can ask Google Meet to create an illustration of a magical forest.
This feature is currently available on desktop. In your self view, your background will appear mirrored or inverted. However, the other participants in the meeting will see the correct orientation.
