Virtual Backgrounds for Google Meet

We are now seeing more and more functionality added to Google Meet that is making it a better choice than Zoom! One feature that is missing is an easy way to create virtual backgrounds, but thanks to Eric Chiu from GEG HK-Macao I just heard about Snap Camera  an application you can download for Windows or Mac.

Snap Camera allows you to select or make different Lenses to change your background or change your appearance!

This application will add lots of fun to your online lessons and you will really get the attention of your students! Update! What is even better you can create your own backgrounds at Lens Studio

Once you have downloaded Snap Camera you will then need to click the 3 dots at the bottom right of your Google Meet window and select the Snap Camera from the list.
