More About Background Blur for Google Meet
Have to take a video call, but don't want people to be distracted by your background? Use this free and open source chrome extension that simply blurs out your background during a Google Meet or Hangouts video call.
* Privacy focused: All processing happens locally in your browser. This chrome extension does not send or receive any data.
* Total transparency: You can view the code for this extension which we've open sourced here: https://github.com/chan1/blur . This chrome extension largely works thanks to Google's TensorFlow JS and Bodypix model which allow for image segmentation to occur in the browser.
If you want to temporarily turn off the background blur effect, there's a small menu at the top left of your screen where you can select "Off".
If you want to fully turn off the extension, go to chrome://extension and switch the extension off, then click reload on any active Google Meet or Hangouts call.
Known issues:
- If you switch tabs, your video will stop. This is to preserve battery life.
- If you have a high resolution video camera, this chrome extension may lower your video resolution to perform well.
- Sometimes the background blur doesn't accurately or consistently blur out all parts of the background.
- Make sure to turn off the background blur if you are presenting your screen.
