Improve your visibility in Google Meet video calls

Quick summary 

Depending on their camera placement, some meeting participants might be less visible than others. Google Meet can now automatically frame 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. You can manually reframe the video at any time from the settings.
