More Google Meet participant controls for education meetings Posted: 14 Sep 2020 02:23 PM PDT What's changing We're giving hosts (meeting creators and calendar owners) of G Suite for Education meetings new meeting safety controls to manage who can join their meetings. Who's impacted End users Additional details Manage meeting attendees  To control access to their meetings, hosts can turn "Quick access" on or off. By default, this setting will be on. When "Quick access" is on: Participants in the same domain as the host do not need to knock to request to join the meeting.  Participants joining by phone do not need to knock to request to join the meeting. Participants can dial-out from within the meeting. When "Quick access" is turned off: All users, including those in the same domain as the host, must knock to request to join the meeting unless they're on the calendar invite. This includes any users who are dialing in to the meeting by phone. Any participants invited from within the meeting by anyone other than the host need to knock to request to join. Only the host can dial-out from within the meeting. Hosts can turn "Quick access" on or off as often as they wish from Google Meet on the web once the meeting has started. Note: Hosts will not see the option to change this setting on mobile devices. If you're unable to turn the features on or off, it's possible that you have a Chrome extension for Meet which is preventing the features from working. To fix the issue, try turning your Meet Chrome extensions off. Soon we'll be adding additional functionality to the "Quick access" setting. Stay tuned to the G Suite Updates blog for the rollout timeline for those additional features: When "Quick access" is off, the host must join the meeting first. Until the host joins, participants on the web will see the message: "Waiting for the Host to Join: The meeting will start as soon as the host has joined."  Hosts can turn "Quick access" on or off for meetings created in Google Calendar in addition to those created from Google Meet. Getting started Admins: There are no admin controls for these features. End users: "Quick access" will be on by default and can be turned on or off by the host during each meeting. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning these features on or off in your meetings.  Rollout pace Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) Availability Available to all G Suite for Education and G Suite Enterprise for Education customers Not available to G Suite Essentials, G Suite Basic, G Suite Business, G Suite Enterprise, and G Suite for Nonprofits customers Resources G Suite Admin Help: Set up Meet for distance learning Google Help: Start a video meeting for education Roadmap  This feature was listed as an upcoming G Suite release.

New APIs to sign out users and control 2-Step Verification Posted: 14 Sep 2020 07:56 AM PDT Quick launch summary  We're adding two new APIs to the Admin SDK Directory API:  Sign user out of all sessions  This new endpoint allows an admin to programmatically sign a user out of all web and device sessions. This can help manage account access when users leave an organization, if a device is lost or misplaced, or if a user forgot to sign out of a shared device. We do not recommend using this to sign users out and force a sign-in periodically; you can explore the Google web session control feature for that use case.  Turn off 2-Step Verification  This new endpoint allows an admin to turn 2-Step Verification (2SV) off programmatically. This action also removes all 2SV methods on the account. Note that in some cases, 2SV cannot be turned off for a user due to other policies that may be in effect. For example, a user may be enrolled in the Advanced Protection Program, or "2SV enforced" is turned on; in such cases the API will fail with an appropriate error code and message.  Note that both of these actions can already be performed via the Admin console. The current launch makes them accessible via API as well so they can be integrated into automated offboarding workflows.  Getting started  Admins and developers: This feature will be available via the Admin SDK Directory API. Use the API documentation to learn more about the new endpoints to sign users out or turn off 2-Step Verification.  End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.  Rollout pace   Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: This feature is available now for all users.  Availability  Available to all G Suite customers  Resources  Documentation: Admin SDK API  Documentation: Endpoint to turn off 2-Step Verification  Documentation: Endpoint to sign out user
