Step 1: Join or Start a Google Meet Call
To get started, you’ll need to either join an existing Google Meet call or start a new one. Once you’re in the call, look for the “More” button at the bottom right corner of your screen. Click on it and select “Turn on Background Blur” from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Test Your Background Blur
After turning on the background blur, Google Meet will automatically blur your background. You can test how it looks by clicking on the “Preview” button. This will allow you to see how your background appears on video before you start your call.
Step 3: Adjust Your Background Blur
If you’re not satisfied with the level of blur, you can adjust it by clicking on the “Settings” button in the top right corner of your screen. From there, select “Video” and then adjust the “Background Blur” slider until you achieve the desired level of blur.
Step 4: Save Your Settings
Once you’ve adjusted your background blur, be sure to click on the “Save” button to save your settings. This way, the next time you join or start a Google Meet call, your background will automatically be blurred.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Blur Background
Congratulations! You’ve successfully blurred your background in Google Meet. Now you can enjoy a more professional and distraction-free video call experience.
