Google Meet to roll out 360-degree virtual backgrounds
Google Meet launched a 360-degree virtual background for its video calls on mobile using the its gyroscope to move with the user.
The background will change according to your device position, and as users will change their position, so will the background. Google announced that there were several new 360-degree backgrounds during video calls available for use.
The feature, though quite cool, can become distracting during a video call for users.
Just last month, Google Meet rolled out emoji reactions like the heart, thumbs-up, party popper, clap, joy, astonished, thinking, cry, and thumbs-down emoji.
The features, however, will have to go much further to meet the standard set by Zoom.
