Virtual Backgrounds for Google Meets
If your Chromebook is updated to M86, it will allow you to use a new feature: Virtual Backgrounds on Google Meet. Virtual backgrounds allow you to change what others can see while on a Google Meet video session. This can help us feel a bit more comfortable with increased privacy as we carry on our distance learning model.
This link contains information on how to update your Chromebook.
