Google Meet on desktop gains face touch-up filters

Google Meet's desktop app now has face touch-up filters, letting you slightly adjust your appearance before meetings. This feature, available on mobile since last year, offers two filters: subtle (light smoothing, under-eye lightening) and smoothing (more intense version). Unlike some video apps, Google focuses on natural-looking enhancements.

To enable it, navigate to "Apply visual effects" > "Appearance" in Google Meet. Here, you can turn on "Portrait touch-up" and choose a filter. It is available globally. However, it's only for these specific Google accounts: Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus Education Plus Teaching & Learning Upgrade, Google One, and Google Workspace Individual clients.
