Google Meet has announced that its automatic framing feature, which was previously only available to Google Workspace accounts, is now rolling out to all users. This feature, similar to Apple's Center Stage, uses the webcam to place users in the middle of the screen, correcting weird camera angles and making video calls more seamless.

The toggle is enabled by default, but users can switch it off by clicking the three-dot menu before joining a call and selecting "Apply visual effects" and then "Appearance". Unlike Apple's Center Stage, Google's version doesn't track users as they move, which can help reduce distractions in meetings.

The automatic framing feature happens only once before joining a call, but users can manually reposition themselves by hovering over their video tile and clicking "reframe". When running virtual backgrounds, the feature continuously keeps the user centered to prevent the background from reframing.
