You will also be able to customize the background to your video feed, if you are joining the Meet with your camera turned on. This is a privacy feature and will help hide whatever is behind you. You can choose to blur your background or choose a background image from a bank of backgrounds provided by Google. Students also have the choice to choose from the bank of pre-determined backgrounds.
To access the background blur function and the bank of pre-determined backgrounds, click on the button with the icon of a sparkle in the bottom right of your video feed. To select and test out a background, simply click on any of the choices in the background bank.
