Beginning today, we’re pleased to announce that we’re expanding this functionality to all users, as well as introducing an improved experience while using a virtual background. This feature will be on by default.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Depending on their camera placement, some meeting participants might be less visible than others. With automatic framing, Google Meet will automatically center your video before joining a meeting to help ensure equal visibility for all participants. The automatic framing happens only once, so there are no motion distractions that can divert attention from the content of the meeting. Additionally, Meet will now continuously keep you centered when using a virtual background, ensuring your background is fixed and not constantly reframing which can be distracting. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_C8sldXAlB4RYEpjxRPeusG3GDgXMmHR686F3C5Y6vT5DsIylo4prltYKjea0Tl7cY_sy4oKQdR6BgSOuHOQFj7zE77l19K6iufmlvUMi-g33WFdnwi8g00ELV0ErA42J4PRcxO0nLWNRcd3EzmwQE-vFE0pDScDmnGA1s7uIoldP0C7kCp7Ke7vHLcU/s640/unnamed%20(2).gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="365" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_C8sldXAlB4RYEpjxRPeusG3GDgXMmHR686F3C5Y6vT5DsIylo4prltYKjea0Tl7cY_sy4oKQdR6BgSOuHOQFj7zE77l19K6iufmlvUMi-g33WFdnwi8g00ELV0ErA42J4PRcxO0nLWNRcd3EzmwQE-vFE0pDScDmnGA1s7uIoldP0C7kCp7Ke7vHLcU/s16000/unnamed%20(2).gif" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Meet frames you in the center of the screen to improve your visibility</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div><br /></div></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Getting started</h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Admins: </b>There is no admin control for this feature.</li><li><b>End users: </b>This feature will be ON by default and can be turned off by the user.&nbsp;</li><li>Visit the Help Center to learn more about <a href="https://support.google.com/meet/answer/9302964#video_framing_requirements">turning video framing on or off for your account</a>.

Vids is an AI-powered video creation app for work designed to help teams in customer service, learning and development, project ops and marketing tell more engaging stories at work through video.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Google Vids for select Workspace editions. Here’s how you can use it:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Customer service teams are using Vids to provide better customer support, supplementing help center articles with videos.&nbsp;</li><li>Leaders are creating vids to share company-wide updates and announcements.&nbsp;</li><li>Learning and development teams are using Vids to deliver employee training and education at scale.&nbsp;</li><li>Marketers are using vids inside their organizations to share recaps on their campaigns and events.&nbsp;</li><li>Project management teams are building vids to share meeting recaps, business updates and report share outs.&nbsp;</li></ul>With Vids, you can easily build videos by tapping into the power of Gemini to help you get to a first draft faster using a set of generative AI capabilities. ‘<a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15067819">Help me create</a>’ can generate a fully editable initial storyboard using a prompt and a doc from your Google Drive. After choosing a style, Gemini pieces together your video draft with suggested scenes, including recommended stock media, text, scripts per scene, and even a background music track.&nbsp;</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="498" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tJ89cwcW5uM" width="600" youtube-src-id="tJ89cwcW5uM"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>You can also start with a variety of use-cased based <a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15082957">templates</a> to create a new video. From there, you can add motion with animations, transitions, and photo effects, and customize your video using the <a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15001094">Vids royalty free stock content library</a> or your own <a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/14917464">media directly from Google Drive or Google Photos</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>With ‘Help me create’, Gemini suggests scripts to get you started or you can write your own. You can easily add <a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15067217?sjid=16528034210924596463-NC">a voiceover</a> by either choosing from one of Gemini’s preset AI voices or by recording your own voice using a teleprompter with Gemini read-along and rolling features that help you record your message with confidence.

This update helps ensure that information shared through Meet chat messages — like links to relevant documents, time-keeping messages, and more — are also visible to live-stream attendees, making meetings more equitable. Previously, in-call chat messages were only visible to&nbsp; hosts, co-hosts, participants and viewers who were in the main meeting. Once you receive the update, you'll see a notification the next time chat messages are sent during a live stream.
