Google Meet’s camera software is getting smarter.
On Monday, Google announced a neat little upgrade in Meet: The camera on the web will now automatically detect when a user appears underexposed, and will enhance the brightness to improve their visibility.
This typically happens when a bright window or a lamp is behind you, causing that “menacing silhouette in the dark” look that you probably don’t want during a company meeting.

The feature is being gradually rolled out right now and is available to all Google Workspace customers, G Suite Basic, and Business customers. End users can turn it on and off in Google Meet’s Settings.
Google has recently been adding a ton of small adjustments to Meet, including making the Hand Raise feature more visible, adding emoji reacts, and adding new filters and masks (but only for personal accounts).
