What you see in the mirror isn’t always what seems to show up when you join a virtual meeting online using your computer’s webcam. Now, Google is making it easier to give your appearance a little bit of a touch-up in Google Meet meetings with the addition of new filters to its desktop app.Google first rolled out the filters to its mobile app last year. Options include two specific filters: subtle and smoothing. The two filters work like two different levels of essentially the same thing. The subtle option will give you a little complexion smoothing, eye whitening, and under-eye lighting, while the smoothing filter will kick all those things up a notch. In both cases, the goal is just to make you look a bit more like yourself in the video, not dramatically change your appearance.Google says that the update “has been highly requested by our users” as a way for them to feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance during video calls.If you’d like to take the new filters for spin, you can find them by selecting “Apply visual effects” from Google Meet’s Settings menu and then selecting “Appearance.” Once there, select “Portrait touch-up” and then select which of the filters you’d like to apply.
