Create background images with Gemini in Google Meet

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 now available on desktop and Android devices. Your self-view shows a mirrored or inverted background but other meeting participants can find it in a correct orientation.
