Subtly enhance your appearance with portrait touch-up when using Google Meet on mobile devices
Wednesday, October 18, 2023
Introducing portrait touch-up in Meet, a new feature on mobile that enables you to lightly touch up your appearance from the green room before joining or during the meeting. Whether you’ve just come back from the gym, are recovering from a cold, or are jet lagged, portrait touch-up is available to help you feel your best. You can choose from two portrait touch-up modes:
- Subtle: very light complexion smoothing, under eye lightening and eye whitening.
- Smoothing: slightly more complexion smoothing, under eye lightening and eye whitening.
This update has been highly requested by our users and we hope that by providing the ability to lightly enhance their appearance, they will feel more comfortable and confident with how they appear during video calls.
In addition to mobile, we plan to introduce this feature to Google Meet on the web by the end of 2023. We’ll provide an update here at that time.
- Admins: There is no admin impact or action required.
- End users: This feature will be off by default and can be enabled by the user. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning portrait touch-up on or off for your account.
- Rapid Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on October 18, 2023
- Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on October 28, 2023
