Google Meet is finally giving you the tools to create better AI-generated video backgrounds
- Google Meet looks to help create better custom backgrounds
- New image generational model coming to users
- Multiple new presets to help bring out your creativity
Looking your best on a work call could soon be easier than ever thanks to a new upgrade from Google Meet.
The video conferencing service has introduced two major improvements to help users craft better custom background images for their meetings and calls.
This includes a new image generation model which offers major improvements on the previous offering, as well as several new preset styles, both of which Google hopes will give users the chance to inject a bit more personalization.

In a Google Workspace Updates blog post announcing the news, the company says its “upgraded” image generation model, “will significantly improve the visual appeal and quality of generated backgrounds, while also better representing user requests.”
This goes alongside a range of new preset styles for those looking for a bit more inspiration when creating a custom background. The new styles are; Professional office, Bookshelf, Stylish living room, Cozy living room, Tropical beach, Fantasy castle, and Sci-fi spaceship.
The feature is rolling out now, and will need to be enabled by admins before users can begin.
The upgrades will be available on Google Workspace Business, Standard and Plus tiers, as well as Enterprise Standard and Plus tiers, and with the Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium add-on.

Google says anyone who previously purchased the Gemini Business, Gemini Enterprise, and AI Meetings and Messages add-ons will also receive this feature.
The news is the latest upgrade for Google Meet users, coming not long after the company revealed its automatic framing tool will be coming to all Google Workspace platform tiers, giving more users a better depiction of themselves whilst on a call.
The tool helps automatically center users in the middle of the screen when joining a video call or meeting, meaning they are properly framed and as visible as possible.
