Google Meet finally roll out ‘
touch up’ tech in their video app, including smoothening of the skin and whitening of the teeth. I’m sure a lot of us will toggle this to ‘on’ and make ourselves look better for others on camera, especially as we know that how your video appears to others can
shape others first impression. But I remain disquieted by this direction of travel - is it a good thing that we look good
all the time? What happens when reality inevitably disappoints? Might become a D&I issue; it is already an assessment issue.
