Seeing your best on a work call could soon be easier than ever thanks to a new upgrade from Google Meet.
The video conference service has introduced two important improvements to help users create better custom background images for their meetings and calls.
This includes a new image generation model that offers great improvements to the previous offer as well as several new preset styles, both of which Google hopes will give users the chance to inject a little more personalization.

In a Google Workspace updates of blog posts announcing the news, the company says its “upgraded” image generation model “will improve the visual appeal and quality of generated backgrounds, while better representing user requests.”
This goes with a number of new preset styles for those who are looking for a little 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 must be activated by administrators before users can begin.
The upgrades will be available on Google Workspace Business, Standard and Plus Tiers, as well as Enterprise Standard and Plus levels and with Gemini Education or Gemini Education Premium Add-on.
Google says anyone who has previously purchased the Gemini business, Gemini Enterprise and AI meetings and messages will also receive this feature.
The news is the latest upgrade for Google Meet users, which comes not long after the company revealed that the automatic framing tool is coming to all Google Workspace levels, giving more users a better portrayal of themselves while on a call.
The tool automatically helps center users in the middle of the screen when attending a video call or meeting, which means they are properly framed and as visible as possible.
