FAQs for Virtual Backgrounds extension

When it comes to adding virtual backgrounds to video and conference calls, users often have questions. Here are a few most commonly asked questions about using the Virtual Backgrounds for the Google Meet Chrome extension.

What to do if your virtual backgrounds aren’t showing?

Sometimes you’ll set a background using the Chrome extension, but it doesn’t show on your screen. This is an issue that many people have, and there is a simple way to fix it. All you need to do is turn off your camera in Google Meet and then turn it back on. This simple trick will work in 90% of cases, and you’ll see your virtual background when restarting your camera.

Why is my image flipped?

When uploading your own background, it’s important to note that cameras flip the image. While this isn’t an issue when using a natural background, such as a beach, it can be an issue when you want to use branding and personalization in your background. A flipped company logo doesn’t say professional. As such, you’ll want to use an image editing tool to flip your image horizontally before uploading it to your extension.
