Google Meet lets you blur or replace your background on video calls. Here's how, and why it's worth turning on to keep your home private on work calls.

Google Meet lets you blur your background or replace it with an image during a video call.
If you take calls from home, the people on the other side see your living room, your bedroom or the dishes in the sink. A blurred or custom background keeps your home private and keeps the focus on you and the conversation.
We recommend turning on a background by default, so you don’t have to remember before every call.
Backgrounds work in any web browser without extra software (we recommend Chrome), and in the Meet app on your phone.
They’re available on every Google Workspace Business plan, as well as on personal Google accounts.
