• Lock meeting (hosts only): Prevents new participants from joining once the meeting has started.
• Background blur: Softens everything behind you while keeping you in focus.
• Turn off incoming video: Hides other participant’s video feeds. This may reduce bandwidth usage.
• Hide self: Stops you from seeing your own your own video feed, while keeping your camera on for other participants.
• Picture-in-picture mode: When you switch to another tab, your Proton Meet call will remain visible in a small floating window (enabled by default).
• Noise cancellation: Reduces background sounds like typing, fans, or traffic (enabled by default).

Using camera and microphone effects on macOS

On macOS, you may see additional camera and microphone controls in the system menu bar (green camera icon) while using Proton Meet.

From there, you can access features like Studio Light, Reactions, or apply a background effect or image, as well as adjust microphone modes (such as voice isolation) using your system settings (for example, FaceTime HD Camera).

These controls are managed by macOS, not Proton Meet, and may vary depending on your device.
