Google ChromeOS native video feature enhancement, will add built-in effects to videoconferencing App

CTOnews.com, Sept. 11, many lifestyle changes have taken place since the epidemic, such as telecommuting, online classes, online meetings, etc., but thanks to this, a number of software has also been improved, but mainly for Windows, macOS and mobile platform users.

It now seems likely that ChromeOS users will get these enhancements in future updates.

According to 9to5Google, ChromeOS developers have been trying to bring native video enhancements to the operating system. For example, add functions such as blurred background to all video conferencing applications to ensure that users have privacy and security during meetings.

CTOnews.com learned that this feature is already in the code, and Google will use machine learning to apply it to all scenarios, which means that high-end ChromeOS devices may have a better experience.

In addition, Google seems to be working on other video effects, such as the "portrait rellighting" effect, in which users are expected to increase the brightness of the theme / character in the video. An in-depth study of the code shows that the automatic framework function also seems to be under development.

Of course, because these features are still under development, some features may never be exposed. But the important thing is that Google is developing more tools and features that will become more and more important over time and will lead to a better experience for ChromeOS users.
