What’s changing
You can now quickly join a meeting as a guest without signing into a personal or work Google account or creating a new Google account. This functionality already exists for meetings on the web and, by expanding to mobile, guests now have greater flexibility for joining Meet meetings on the go.
To join as a guest, you need to be on the Calendar invite for the meeting or have been provided the meeting code or the meeting link beforehand. Before you join the meeting, you’ll be prompted to enter your name and “knock” (aka ask to join the meeting) to be admitted. Once a meeting host or co-host accepts your knock, you’ll jump right into the meeting.

iOS: Available now.Android: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on January 17, 2024

What’s changing
We’re launching three new features to personalize your appearance in Google Meet. Specifically, we’re adding:
Combine multiple video effects on web and mobile: You can now combine a background effect with a filter effect to create a more dynamic, fun experience. This gives you the flexibility to find the right mix of effects that will represent you best during your meetings. The new layer icon on your self view tile can be used to keep track of which effects you’re using and remove one or all effects at once.

You’ll also notice a brand new user interface for effects. The streamlined design makes it easier for you to discover and apply various features. Specifically, you’ll notice effects grouped by category:
Backgrounds: Backgrounds are now organized into categories based on the type of scene you are looking for, such as new backgrounds, blurred backgrounds, your uploaded or company uploaded background, and more.Filters: Sort through filters by category, including funny filters, accessories, costumes and characters.Appearance: Adjust your appearance as needed by improving your lighting, framing, and video quality.
Studio lighting on web: Available with the Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on, the new studio lighting feature can be used to simulate studio-quality lighting. You’ll be able to adjust the lighting position, brightness, and color to look your best. Note that for this initial launch an eligible device is required to use this feature.
For illustrative purposes only — to use Studio Lighting, go to settings > video > studio lighting.
Studio sound: This feature will automatically improve poor audio quality from typical bluetooth headsets and dial-in participants by using AI to recreate higher audio frequencies. Currently, this feature is available for meetings on the web and dial-in, with support for the mobile Meet app coming in the coming weeks — we’ll share an update on the Workspace Updates blog at that time. This feature is available with the Duet AI for Google Workspace Enterprise add-on.
Studio sound will use AI to improve audio quality.

What’s changing
We’re introducing a centralized location for reviewing and taking action on reported Google Chat content in the Admin console under Apps > Google Workspace > Moderation, alongside the email quarantine tool for Gmail. Here can be found an overarching view of active and resolved reports, as well as additional information and context about reported messages, allowing for more informed decisions to be made.
Super admins will have access to the moderation tool and can also assign users the new “Moderate Chat content report” privilege. The new privilege can be assigned to users in your organization who are best suited to review Chat content, helping to reduce the burden on super admins.
Who’s impacted
Admins and designated moderators
Why it’s important
Google Chat is key to accelerating productivity and collaboration — content reporting and moderation helps ensure that information exchanged across Chat is safe and appropriate. When a report is submitted by users, the moderation tool can be used to:
See all reports associated with the message (including those resolved in the past).Note that resolved reports will be removed from the Moderation tool after 180 days.Review the edit history of a message and conversation transcript, including up to five messages posted before the reported message.Conversation details provide information about the type of conversation (direct messages, group direct messages, or Spaces) with number of participants, space managers, guidelines, etc.
Using this information, combined with organization policies, admins and moderators can choose the best course of action, whether that be deleting a specific message or deleting an entire space before resolving the report. Additionally, moderators can add comments to the report for prosperity should the content require further auditing in the future.
The moderation tool can be accessed in the Admin console by selecting Apps > Google Workspace > Moderation.
Upon selecting a reported message, you’ll see a variety of information including conversation details and other reports for the message.
You can select “Show more” from the “Reported message” section to view up to five messages sent prior to the reported message.
Additional details
As part of this change, the moderation tool will also include a tab for managing quarantined Gmail messages. Visit our Help Center for more information regarding
setting up email quarantine and the
admin privileges required to manage quarantined messages. The Gmail tab is available to all Google Workspace customers.
