| See up to 49 people, including yourself, in Google Meet Posted: 15 Sep 2020 12:39 PM PDT What's changingYou can now see up to 49 people at the same time in the auto and tiled layout options in Google Meet. In addition, we've added the ability to see yourself as a tile on the call. When you hover over your thumbnail in the top right corner, you'll now see the option to add or remove yourself from the grid. These changes are only visible to you.  See up to 49 participant tiles in Google Meet Who's impactedEnd users Why you'd use itSeeing more people at the same time can improve the dynamics of larger group meetings and classes. Whether it's seeing everyone's reactions to what's being discussed, or more easily tracking multiple speakers, it can help virtual meetings feel more like in-person meetings and encourage participation. Additionally, adding yourself as a full tile let's you see yourself better. This can make you feel more like part of the larger group, especially when taking screenshots or photos. We hope that this helps individuals and teams feel more connected while apart. Additional detailsThis feature is only available in Meet on the web. By default, the maximum number of tiles you'll see in auto layouts is 9, and in tiled layouts is 16. With this launch, you'll also be able to use a slider to adjust the number of tiles you see. You may want to increase the maximum when you have a large group, or reduce the number of tiles if you have a weak internet connection. Note that the slider adjustments are specific to each meeting, it will reset between each meeting and you can then customize each time. You may also see fewer tiles depending on your window size, as the tiles available will adjust to fit your screen. Getting started

| Blur your background in Google Meet Posted: 15 Sep 2020 01:13 PM PDT Quick launch summaryTo help limit distractions during meetings, you can now blur the background of your video in Google Meet. When it's turned on, Meet will intelligently separate you from the background, blurring your surroundings while keeping you clear and in focus. We recently also launched the ability to filter out disruptive background noise in Google Meet. Together, these features reduce audio and visual distractions, and help ensure more productive meetings. Background blur works directly within your browser and does not require an extension or any additional software. At launch, it will work on the Chrome browser on Windows and Mac desktop devices. Support for ChromeOS and Meet mobile apps will be coming soon, we'll announce on the G Suite Updates blog when it's available on those devices.  Getting started

| Google Drive trash items will be automatically deleted after 30 days starting on October 13, 2020 Posted: 15 Sep 2020 10:18 AM PDT What's changingStarting October 13, 2020, we're changing the retention policies for items in the Trash in Google Drive. With this new policy, any file that is put into a Google Drive trash will be automatically deleted after 30 days. Previously, trashed items would be retained indefinitely until the trash was emptied by the user. Any files already in a user's trash on October 13, 2020 will remain there for 30 days. After the 30-day period, files that have been in the trash for longer than 30 days will begin to be automatically deleted. Who's impactedEnd users Why it's importantThis change matches the policies of other G Suite products and services, such as Gmail. This will help ensure behavior is consistent and predictable for users across G Suite products, and will help make sure that items users trash are actually deleted as expected. Additional detailsPolicy change notes
In-app notification for users As this policy takes effect, we will show a banner to users with details of the change. The policy change will take effect regardless of whether a user sees or acknowledges the banner. We will be showing in-app notifications in Drive starting today and in our Editors products (e.g., Google Docs and Google Forms) starting September 29. Getting started
