Google Meet for web rolls out feature that will automatically adjust video brightness

Google Meet is rolling out a new feature that will enable users to activate settings when the lighting in their environment is dim or underexposed.

Google Meet on Tuesday announced a new feature for its web app. It will now enable Google Meet users to increase their brightness in case the lighting in their environment is dim or underexposed. In such cases, Google Meet will first automatically detect the brightness and will prompt users to adjust it so others on the call can see them better. "Having too much light behind you—such as a window on a sunny day—can also be challenging for many cameras. Google Meet on the web now automatically detects when a user appears underexposed and enhances the brightness to improve their visibility," Google noted in a blog post.
