Updated rollout information for the new Google Meet user experience, new option to revert to the legacy experience Posted: 27 May 2021 08:44 AM PDT Quick summary  In April 2021, we announced a new and improved Google Meet experience to help make meetings more immersive, inclusive, and productive. We have revised the rollout for the new Google Meet experience:  Rapid Release domains: A gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) began on May 24, 2021.  Scheduled Release domains: A gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) will begin on June 1, 2021.  Users using Google Meet with a personal Google account: rollout began on May 24, 2021.  Additionally, users will have the option to revert to legacy Google Meet experience until June 10, 2021. On June 11, 2021, the new Google Meet experience will become the standard experience for all users.  You can follow the Google Meet Help Community for more updates on rollout progress and support.  Additional details  Use of 3rd party Chrome extensions (including the Grid View extension) could impact your experience — disabling any extensions that interact with Google Meet could resolve this.  Getting started  Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.  End users: No action required. To revert to the legacy Google Meet experience, select "Use the legacy experience for this call" from the banner. You can also disable any Chrome extensions that interact with Meet if you notice issues.  Rollout pace  Google Workspace Customers  Rapid Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) started on May 24, 2021  Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 1, 2021  Users with personal Google accounts  Rollout began on May 24, 2021  Availability  Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers  Available to users using Google Meet with a personal Google account  Resources  Google Workspace  Google Workspace Updates Blog: Google Meet now gives you more space for content and control over layouts for a more flexible experience  Google Meet Help: Learn about the new Meet layout  Google Workspace for Education  Google Meet Product Guide: Learn about the new Meet layout  Users with personal Google accounts  Google Meet Help: Learn about the new Meet layout

View more insights on Keep activity with a new API and audit logs Posted: 27 May 2021 07:26 AM PDT What's changing  To help Workspace admins monitor and analyze their organizations' Keep activity, starting today, admins will see audit logs for user activity in Google Keep in the Admin console under Reports > Audit log > Keep. Here, admins can monitor when domain users:  Take action on a note,  Add or remove a collaborator,  Upload or delete an attachment.  Admins who have enabled Keep for their users will see Keep audit events from May 1, 2021 onward. These audit logs are also available in the Reports API, where admins can expand their automated reporting to include Keep. The event log and Reports API do not include information about the content of notes or attachments, only that an internal user has taken a particular action on a note.  Next, in the coming days, the rollout of a new API for Keep will begin. The API will allow admins and admin-enabled apps to manage Keep access controls for an organization, enabling support for cases such as enterprise data protection. For example, an admin could use the API to create Keep notes, or use an app to monitor Keep usage and help ensure that notes with sensitive information are not shared too widely.  Note: These features are only available for Google Workspace customers, and are not available for users with personal Google accounts. Who's impacted Admins and developers Why it matters Audit events for Keep allow administrators to better understand domain activity on Keep and monitor compliance with organizational guidelines. The Keep API gives admins more ways to manage how Keep data is accessed. Together, we hope these features make it easier for admins to add a layer of security and compliance around Keep data in their organization. Getting started Admins:  Keep audit logs will appear automatically for organizations who allow their users to use Keep. Visit the Help Center to learn more about Google Keep Audit logs. The Reports API can be configured by Admins for Google Keep or specific users defined by an admin. Use this guide to learn more about the Reports API.  Once the Keep API begins to roll out, API documentation will be published, and we will update this blog post to include links to that documentation. End users: No action required. Rollout pace Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on May 27, 2021 Availability Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers Not available to users with personal Google accounts.
