You never know if a social app by Google will be shut down at some point so it is a good chance to try it until it is gone.
The feature is still rolling out and should become available to everyone soon. It is planned to be rolled out to both, personal and workspace accounts.
How to test:
- Start a Google Meet conversation.
- Tap on the filters icon on top of your own camera view.
- Swipe to the filters tab on the right side of the bottom menu.
- Select an effect to be applied to see it in action.
- Go back to the conversation.
