How often do you use video calling apps on your Chromebook? Would you use built-in video effects instead of app-specific ones? Let us know down in the comments. Given the very early state that these features are in, it may still be a few months of development before they arrive for more Chromebook owners.
#BLUR BACKGROUND MAC#
Overall, it’s clear Google recognizes how important video calling has become and wants to ensure newer Chromebooks can be competitive with Windows and Mac computers. Things are in a fairly early state right now, but it seems like there are plans to show warnings if your network becomes unstable during a call, as well as a few other features we can’t quite pin down.
#BLUR BACKGROUND CODE#
Across a few other code changes, we see that ChromeOS may begin monitoring for when a video call begins in an app like Zoom or Google Meet. The background blur and portrait relighting effects seem to be arriving as part of a broader plan to improve video calling apps on ChromeOS. Portrait light in Google Photos Auto-framing in Google Duo In one comment, a Googler mentions testing out the “ portrait relighting” effect that’s built into Google Camera on Pixel phones, along with an “AUTO_FRAMING” feature that sounds similar to what Google Duo offered. It’s also possible that background blur may not be the only video effect coming to ChromeOS. At the moment, Google has been testing background blur effects on Chromebooks with 11th Gen and 12th Gen Intel processors. Choose between the circular or linear blur shape, then adjust the blur strength, transition, and vignette strength to your liking. To blur the background of your photos, you can use Snapseed’s Lens Blur feature.

Editing photos in Snapseed is similar to post-processing files in a program like Lightroom or Photoshop. It seems Google’s ChromeOS team is looking to replicate the built-in video camera effects of macOS, according to a new code change. The application provides several blur styles (Bokeh, Box, Motion, Crystallize, Pixelate). Add blur background on old photo or photos taken with one camera in one moment. Meanwhile, some newer devices like Macs with Apple Silicon include built-in video effects like portrait blur and “Center Stage” reframing that work across any app that uses your camera. Photographers often use the depth of field (also called depth resolution) as an art technique to draw attention to the object in focus and blur the background. PTMD is an application that allows you to add blur background on photo, similar to phones with two cameras.
Some apps offer their own ways to enhance your video with effects that can swap out your background, blur your surroundings, or adjust for the amount of light in your room. Even getting together with friends is made easier with video apps like Google Meet, Zoom, and more. Over the last few years, much of work has moved online, especially meetings. So unless there's something borderline illegal happening behind you-in which case, please don't make me report you, Joey-don't blur your background.As video calling apps have become essential to getting modern work done, ChromeOS is preparing to enhance those apps with background blur and other helpful tools. Or you might just see that the sun's out where they are and live vicariously. You might notice a mirror they have, ask where they got it, and then buy multiples for your own house (true story). You might see their partner or kid or dog walk by in the background.
