Control Background Replacement in Google Meet With a New Admin Setting
Google Workspace Updates | Google is adding the ability for admins to enable or disable the use of custom or preset backgrounds in Google Meet for meetings organized by an organizational unit (OU) level. The setting will determine whether meeting participants can change their background when joining a meeting.
