What’s changing 
In addition to replacing your Google Meet background with a static image on web and mobile, you can now replace your background with a video. At the moment, you can select from three Google made videos: a classroom, a party, and a forest — more options will be available soon. This feature is already available on Google Meet on web. 


When using Google Meet on iOS, you have the option to replace your background with a video.
Use a video background to make calls more fun.
