Google meet improve Automatic Brightness feature during video call

Google meet is one of the popular video conferencing applications developed by Google inc, Google is bringing new features in its services day by day. Google added a new feature in Google meet where it automatically corrects the poor lighting during a video call.  Following the introduction of a low-light mode on mobile last year, Google has now added a new function that detects when a Web user appears underexposed during a video call and increases the brightness of their device to improve visibility. Users can turn off the setting according to their wishes. Enabling the automatic brightness may increase the performance of the device and slow down the device of the user.

The new functionality was disclosed by Google in a blog post. When utilizing Google Meet for Web, this service is only available on desktop and iOS devices. Users can check for the automatic video lighting adjustment update on their PC by going to More > Settings > Video > Adjust video lighting.  Google can detect low light conditions automatically and enhance the brightness of the particular device to improve the visibility to others.

Users can also disable the video feature because having it activated may slow down the PC. According to Google, users may choose to disable this feature to allow other apps to run faster. The automated video illumination adjustment capability is available to all Google Workspace clients, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers, according to its support documentation.

This functionality began rolling out on Monday, September 20 and will be available to all customers in the coming weeks. It does, however, demand the use of a 64-bit operating system. It requires Chrome version M90 or above on Windows, Mac, or Linux; version M90 or higher on Chrome OS; and Edge (Chromium) 90 or higher on Windows or Mac with hardware acceleration enabled and WebGL.

In low-light situations, the AI automatically changes the video to make users more visible to other participants. Similarly, Meet has implemented an AI noise cancellation feature to filter out background disturbances during a video meeting to limit disruptions.
