Beauty Filter for Google Meet

Google Meet's “Apply visual effects” has a single light-touch filter and no detail controls. CiCi Cam adds a full beauty layer — smoothing, lighting, makeup, and face shape — that Google Meet sees as a normal webcam in the browser.

Why the default setup falls short

Meet's visual effects are limited

Meet offers a single low-intensity touch-up plus a few stylized filters. There's no way to control smoothing, brightness, makeup, or face shape independently.

Browser-based calls strip your camera setup

Meet runs in the browser, so any beauty stack you built in another app gets lost unless it lives at the camera level — outside the browser.

Mixed daylight wrecks how you look

Working near a window means daylight shifts from morning to afternoon. Meet won't compensate, so your skin tone drifts across calls.

How the setup works

  1. 1

    Install CiCi Cam on Windows or Mac

    Download from the homepage and run the installer. CiCi Cam registers a system-level virtual camera that any browser can read.

  2. 2

    Pick your webcam in CiCi Cam

    Open the app and choose your physical camera as the input source. Adjust smoothing, soft light, and makeup until your preview looks natural.

  3. 3

    Open Google Meet in your browser

    When the browser asks for camera permission, allow it. The browser will see CiCi Cam as one of the available camera devices.

  4. 4

    Switch the camera inside Google Meet

    In Meet, click the three-dot menu → Settings → Video → Camera → select “CiCi Cam.” Your enhanced feed is now the default for every Meet call.
