Apple’s new filters and animations work against any software using the webcam. Including Google Meets via your web browser.

That’s the problem with this new feature. It’s on by default and alters the feed for other software.

It’s not all bad though. The filters are actually pretty nice. But expressions, on the other hand, get accidentally triggered often and really shouldn’t be gesture operated (or at least disabled by default)

I tested in google meet last week, it does not work there.

I dont know how you missed this in your tests but I’ve literally had it unintentionally activate on myself and other colleagues in Google Meets.

Saw thought bubbles in gmeet a week or so ago.

maybe it's a firefox thing? I am on google meet right now and I've literally tried several things and it does not work. But still, clearly it does not automatically work in every application, as I took the time to open several different apps and test which ones it worked in.
