Animated Backgrounds for Google Meet

Upload GIF, MP4 or WebM files as your Google Meet background. Not affiliated with Google.

Bring your video calls to life with a moving background. Google Meet's custom background uploader normally accepts still images only. This extension lets it accept GIF, MP4 and WebM files too, so you can use a looping video or animation behind you. HOW TO USE 1. Install the extension. 2. Join or start a meeting on meet.google.com. If Meet was already open, reload the tab. 3. Open "Backgrounds and effects" and click the + upload tile. 4. Choose your video or GIF. Tip: MP4 works best. Meet may treat a GIF as a still image and show only its first frame, so convert GIFs to MP4 first (free online converters make this quick). SETTINGS Click the extension icon to turn it on or off, or choose which file types to allow. PRIVACY Your files never pass through this extension; it only changes which file types the upload button accepts. It collects no data, runs no remote code, and works only on meet.google.com. The only thing it stores is your on/off setting, inside Chrome. Google Meet is a trademark of Google LLC. This extension is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
