What you need to know
In a delightful embrace of the Halloween spirit, Google Meet is unveiling a suite of festive features designed to add a touch of whimsy to your virtual gatherings. These seasonal enhancements aim to transform the mundane into the magical, allowing users to engage in a bit of playful trickery during their meetings.
- Google Meet is introducing a range of Halloween-themed perks to enliven your interactions with colleagues.
- With the help of AI-powered makeup, you can effortlessly adopt a “Goth Chic” aesthetic or even morph into a mummy or zombie—entirely in the virtual realm, of course.
- To further enhance the festive atmosphere, pre-made virtual backgrounds are available, or you can unleash your creativity by generating custom ones using AI.
The centerpiece of this Halloween initiative is the innovative AI-powered makeup feature. This tool allows users to apply virtual makeup during their Meet calls, eliminating the need for any physical preparation. Typically, users can choose from 12 distinct makeup styles found in the Appearance tab under the Backgrounds and effects menu. However, in celebration of Halloween, an exclusive “Goth Chic” option has been added to the mix.
This AI-powered makeup feature was rolled out earlier this month as part of Google Workspace, complementing the existing Touch-up feature. Both tools harness the power of AI to enhance your appearance, ensuring you look your best during those all-important video calls. They are readily accessible on Google Meet, whether you’re using the web version or the mobile app.
For those subscribed to Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra, these features are now at your fingertips, ready to elevate your virtual Halloween experience.
