Cameos on Google

How to make your video call reactions truly memorable?

Standard video calls lack personality. Emojis and thumbs-ups feel flat. You want to express surprise, laughter, or support in a way that feels human, not mechanical. Cameos on Google solves this by letting you insert short, looping video clips of yourself—or pre-made animations—directly into your Google Meet calls.

Core functionality

Cameos on Google is a companion app that integrates with Google Meet. It captures your facial expressions and gestures, then converts them into real-time, animated reactions. You choose from a library of pre-set cameos (clapping, laughing, gasping) or record your own custom reactions on the fly. The app uses your device’s front camera and AI to track your face, then renders a clean, cartoon-style avatar that mirrors your movements. No green screen, no complex setup.

Key tools and modes:

• Live cameo mode – Your face becomes a reaction. Smile, and a cheering avatar appears. Raise your eyebrows, and a surprised avatar pops up.
• Custom reaction recorder – Record a 3-second clip of any expression or gesture. The app trims and loops it automatically for reuse.
• Pre-built animation pack – 20+ stylized reactions (confetti, drum roll, slow clap) for quick access without recording yourself.
• Position overlay – Drag your cameo to any corner of the Meet screen. It stays pinned even when you share slides or code.

Why this approach works

• No extra hardware – Works with any Android device running Android 7.0+ and a standard front camera.
• Low bandwidth impact – Cameos are processed locally. Only the final avatar data is sent, not raw video, keeping call quality stable.
• One-tap activation – A floating button appears inside Google Meet. Tap to open your cameo tray, swipe to pick, and the reaction plays instantly.
• Privacy by design – The app does not upload your face data to servers. All facial mapping stays on your device.

Three quick facts to remember

• Works inside Google Meet only
• Record custom reactions in seconds
• No subscription required for basic pack
