Directly from the picture-in-picture window, you can now:  Raise your hand  Use in meeting chat  Turn captions on and off  More effectively resize the picture-in-picture view  Access flexible layouts  Previously, you could only turn your camera or microphone on/off or leave the meeting from the picture-in-picture window. Our new picture-in-picture experience provides greater flexibility when screen sharing or navigating to a relevant screen for a more dynamic experience.  Getting started  Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.  End users: Visit the Help Center to learn more about using picture-in-picture with Google Meet.  Rollout pace  Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 7, 2023  Availability  Available to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts  Resources  Google Help: Use picture-in-picture with Google Meet Updated user interface for the Email Log Search tool June 7, 2023, 12:34 pm What's changing We've updated the Email Log Search interface, helping admins find relevant information faster whether their query is simple or dynamic.  Admins can use the "Predefined search" tab for basic searches, such as:  All messages from today, yesterday, or the last 7 days  Messages sent or received within your primary domain since yesterday  You can access the "Custom search" tab if you need to expand search parameters. This will allow you to enter information such as a message ID or sender IP into predefined fields for faster searching.  By enabling admins to find and troubleshoot missing email messages, see the status of messages after they're delivered and more, this update helps admins stay on top of the flow of emails in their domain, regardless of the size of their organization.  Getting started  Admins: Visit the Help Center to learn more about finding messages with the Email Search Log. Note: when returning to the Email Log Search tool, you will get to the "Predefined search" or "Custom search" tab based on your previous visit to the tool.  End users: There is no end user action required.  Rollout pace  Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 7, 2023  Availability  Available to Google Workspace Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Fundamentals, Education Standard, Education Plus, the Teaching & Learning Upgrade, Nonprofits, Frontline Starter, and Frontline Standard customers  Resources  Google Workspace Admin Help: Find messages with Email Log Search Improved experience for admitting or denying join requests in Google Meet June 7, 2023, 12:21 pm What's changing  We've heard requests from our customers to update the experience for admitting participants in Google Meet. Currently, the admitting dialog can disrupt access to other meeting features. Additionally, because the dialog box takes up so much screen space, users can feel pressure to quickly accept or deny join requests in order to dismiss the notification window.  For a better experience, we're moving join requests to the people panel. Here, users can take their time reviewing join requests without disrupting the overall meeting experience, and without blocking functionality of other meeting features.  Rollout pace  Rapid Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on Jun 7, 2023  Scheduled Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on Jun 15, 2023  Availability   Available to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts   Resources  Google Help: Add or remove people from a Google Meet meeting Previous Posts: Visit a class using new option in Google Classroom Write messages faster and easier with smart compose in Google Chat Simplify and strengthen sign-in by enabling passkeys for your users, available now in open beta Google Workspace Updates Weekly Recap - June 2, 2023 Better control the flow of meetings with viewer mode in Google Meet Note: We've recently changed how we send these emails.
