When new form responses are received, anyone with the proper permissions can refresh an embedded chart by simply clicking the "Update" button. This eliminates the need to re-copy the chart from the form.  This feature is useful for sharing real-time responses to polls or surveys and for incorporating Forms responses data into presentations or reports.    Embedding a form in a chart Getting started  Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.  End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.

View bandwidth availability and usage during meetings via the Meet quality tool March 1, 2022, 12:52 pm What's changing  Admins can now use the Meet quality tool to view inbound and outbound bandwidth information—both used and available—for their users. Surfacing this information helps admins visualize participants bandwidth compared to the quality of a call, making it easier for them to determine where a bandwidth bottleneck could be causing low quality.  Admins can use the graphs to view sent and received bandwidth, used bandwidth, and the bandwidth availability over time. Hovering over a data point surfaces numerical readouts and exact timestamps.  Who's impacted Admins Why it's important Knowing which bitrates are available or being used for specific endpoints is critical data when performing troubleshooting or working to improve call quality in your domain. Previously, this data was only available as an average across entire calls, which can make it difficult to narrow down problems during specific points in time.  We hope by surfacing this detailed information, Admins can easily troubleshoot or improve call quality for their users. Getting started Admins: This feature will be available by default. From the Admin console, navigate to Apps > Google Workspace > Google Meet > Meet quality tool.
