With Google frames feature, you will be able to hide your surroundings in case you don’t want others to see. In the coming months, all the users will get to see the Custom Google Meet backgrounds in the app.

Other features on the Meet road map include:

• Hand raising: Increase participation in larger meetings by enabling participants to “raise their hands” when they have a question or something to say.
• Meeting attendance: Give meeting hosts a simple way to see who attended their meeting.
• Breakout rooms: Make it easy for large meetings to split into smaller groups, have parallel discussions, and reconvene once finished.
• Q&A: Provide a channel for the audience to ask questions without disrupting the flow of the conversation.
• Polling: Engage participants in large meetings with real-time polling.
• Additional moderator controls: Give meeting hosts additional controls for muting, presenting, joining, and more.
