Meet in Gmail on mobile now rolling out on iOS

Posted: 13 Jul 2020 10:36 AM PDT

Quick launch summary

Last month we announced that Meet in Gmail would be coming to Android and iOS. We're starting to roll out the feature today to iOS, meaning users can join secure video meetings directly from a dedicated Meet tab in the Gmail mobile app on iOS. This feature will be coming soon to Android and we'll post on the G Suite Updates blog when the rollout begins.



See our announcement on the G Suite Updates blog for more information on this launch.

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.

End users: Meet in Gmail on mobile will be ON by default when users update their Gmail app. Users can hide the Meet tab inside of the Gmail app in their Gmail settings by deselecting "Show the Meet tab for video calling" under "Meet."


Rollout pace

Availability

  • Available to all G Suite customers and users with personal accounts
  • Users with a G Suite for Education account that is enabled to create Meet video meetings will have the Meet tab enabled in Gmail. G Suite for Education accounts that are not able to create Meet video meetings will not see the Meet tab in Gmail and should use the Meet Android or iOS apps to join meetings instead.

Roadmap

Anonymous users will be blocked from Google Meet for G Suite for Education meetings by default

Posted: 13 Jul 2020 10:09 AM PDT

What's changing

To increase the privacy of education meetings in Google Meet, anonymous users (users not signed into a Google account) can no longer join meetings organized by anyone with a G Suite for Education or G Suite Enterprise for Education license. This prevents participants from sharing a link publicly to encourage anonymous users to request access.

Who's impacted

Admins and end users

Why it's important

Anonymous users can cause disruption to learning by making noise and sharing content, and become a distraction for the meeting organizer when they try to join meetings.

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin for this feature. G Suite for Education admins can request to have this feature disabled to allow anonymous participants to join Google Meet calls by contacting G Suite support to request an exception. This will allow meetings organized by users in their domain to allow anonymous users to join.

End users: This feature will be ON by default. Visit the Help Center to learn more about setting up Meet for distance learning.

Rollout pace

Availability

  • Available to G Suite for Education and G Suite Enterprise for Education customers

Full color support and more updates to printing on Google Calendar

Posted: 13 Jul 2020 08:32 AM PDT

Quick launch summary

We've added a few enhancements to how you can print your agenda on Google Calendar. Now, there is a new option to print your calendar in full color, so you can keep track of different event types more easily.

Using the new "View" option, you can also print one day or one week per sheet.



With this updated print layout, you can fit up to 24 hours of events per day to clearly follow even particularly long days.

Events 25 minutes and shorter are displayed at the true height of the event duration and show location when space is available.

Example printout with new full color support

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.

End users: These new features are added by default. Current default print settings will not change.

Improved Google Calendar event creation on the web

Posted: 13 Jul 2020 06:18 AM PDT

Quick launch summary

Last year, we announced improvements to the event creation flow in Google Calendar on the web. We're now adding even more editable event fields directly into the pop-up dialog, including:

  • Guest permissions: Grant guests permission to see the guest list, invite others, or edit an event.
  • Attachments: Add attachments directly alongside the event's description.
  • Calendar preview: Choose an event color, customize notifications, set free/busy, and change an event's visibility.



We're also improving the "Find a time" feature in this view, overlaying potential guests' calendars to help you quickly pick the best time for everyone.



With these changes, you'll now be able to add all of the necessary information to your Calendar event from one window, without having to click into "More options"—saving you even more time when scheduling an event.

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.

End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. This new creation flow will automatically appear in Calendar on the web. Visit the Help Center to learn more about creating an event in Calendar.
