Google Meet's Face Touchup arrive on desktops
Google Meet is rolling out face filters to 'lightly' touchup complexions before an online meeting, on the desktop version of the app. This feature was launched last year on the mobile apps.
Choosing from two different filters, subtle and smoothing, with light complexion improvement, under-eye lightening, and eye whitening with the former. For the smoothing filter, all three effects are enhanced for a better look. Users can find the filters via the 'Apply visual effects' setting in Meet and choosing 'Appearance'.
The touchup filter is expected to roll out today for premium users only with Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and Teaching & Learning Upgrade. This will include Google One and Google Workspace Individual subscribers as well.
Google lags behind in video conferencing, as its rivals, Microsoft and Zoom, released such filters much earlier for their users.
