Google Meet on PC will get access to face retouching filters

Google has announced the launch of face retouching filters in its Google Meet web app. These filters, primarily available only on mobile devices, can now be used by users during video conferencing on computers.

Users can choose between two different filters: “thin” and “smooth”. The former adds a light tone to the skin, brightens under-eyes and smoothes wrinkles, while the latter makes these effects less noticeable.

According to Google representatives, the innovation is intended for minor correction of the appearance without radical changes. Users can activate the retouching feature by selecting “Apply visual effects” in the Google Meet settings. However, access to this feature will be limited and only available for the paid version in some plans such as Business Standard, Enterprise Essentials, Education Plus and others. Google One and Google Workspace Individual subscribers will also be able to use the retouching feature.
