Google Workspace is getting a Dark Canvas theme on Google Meet hardware. The blog post suggests that dark mode applies to all Google Meet devices. It works like any other dark theme feature by darkening items on the home screen when users are not in a meeting.

In addition, the company announces its collaboration with Canvas Project to provide wallpapers to users. According to Google, the feature would provide improved viewing for users who tend to sit close to their devices. Google stated:

“We know that many users may be sitting closer to their devices than before. Dark Canvas mode is a great way to reduce glare on your screen and keep it looking great.”

In addition, slight modifications have also been made to the admin console, where the “Wallpaper” setting is now called “Home Screen”. Users can choose between two canvas modes: “Canvas – dark” and “Canvas – light”, which come with their own wallpaper packs. However, if someone is left with custom wallpapers, the dark mode will not apply to them.

To activate the Dark Canvas theme, go to Devices > Google Meet hardware > Settings > Device settings > Home screen. The feature will gradually roll out to Google Workspace, G Suite Basic, and G Suite Business users starting today.
