San Francisco \u2013 With an aim to enhance the video-conferencing experience on Chromebooks, tech giant Google is reportedly developing new built-in features that include background blur and other effects to improve lighting.<\/p>\n
According to a potential feature flag, the Chrome OS team is developing a background blur effect, available on Apple\u2019s macOS machines powered by Apple Silicon, for Chromebooks, reports Android Central.<\/p>\n
As per the report, background blur is a popular feature of many of the best video conference software, such as Google Meet. It is a useful tool for hiding your messy bedroom when video-calling your colleagues.<\/p>\n
The report said that adding these effects to Chromebooks as a built-in feature will significantly improve user experience on the platform, which has traditionally lagged behind Windows PCs and MacBooks in terms of features.<\/p>\n
The tech giant is also likely working on another feature called \u201cPortrait Relighting,\u201d which is similar to a feature found in the Google Camera app for Pixel phones.<\/p>\n
According to Google, Portrait Light \u201cadds a simulated directional light source to portraits\u201d to complement the lighting in the original photo.<\/p>\n
