Ready for another tech tip from techbrood? Well, here's Greg Doig with another one for you. Welcome back to another episode. I'm your host, Greg Doig. Did you ever jump on a video call and immediately think I should have put on some makeup? Well, Google just solved that problem. Google Meet's new AI makeup feature transforms your appearance in real time during video calls. Think of it as an instant beauty filter that actually looks natural. No more cartoon like effects that scream. I'm using a filter. Choose from your 12 AI powered makeup styles. A professional look for work meetings, expressive styles for casual calls and everything stays put when you move, gesture or laugh. And the best part? It remembers your preferences so you don't have to set it up every single time. So how do you use it? Well, you join any Google Meet call, look for the makeup option in your video settings, pick your style and intensity and you're instantly camera ready. But please note it's turned off by default, so you'll need to activate it yourself. And who can use it? Well, it's rolling out now through October 23rd for workspace, business and enterprise users, Google Meet, individual subscribers and education accounts. It's available on both desktop and mobile, wherever you take your meetings. And the bottom line? No more Sorry, I just woke up disclaimers on calls. This feature gives you confidence without the time investment of actual makeup. It's perfect for those back to back meeting days or unexpected video calls. So if you're ready to upgrade your video presence, check your Google Meet settings and give it a try. Foreign Please come back for our weekly podcast and please share our site.
