Generate Background Image in Google Meet With AI.

Have you ever wished for a quick, visually appealing background in your Google Meet without hunting through images? You're in luck—Google recently rolled out a Generate Background feature in Google Meet, powered by Gemini AI.

Instead of uploading your own photos, you can now ask Google Meet to create a custom background on the fly. Simply describe what you want—like "a cozy book-lined study" or "beach at sunset"—and the AI will generate a fitting image instantly. It's a fun, creative way to personalize video calls without the hassle.
