Share a link to a specific time in a Google Drive video 
We’re adding new functionality to the Drive sharing button that lets you share timestamped links to specific parts of a video. On web, simply navigate to drive.google.com > find and open a video file > play the video (you can pause the playback before performing the following steps) > select the dropdown on the “Share” button in the top-right corner > select “Copy link to this time” > send the link. | Rolling out now to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. | Available to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts. | Learn more about copying a specific time in the video. 
Introducing dropdown options on the sharing button in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drawings We’re adding a new feature that ensures a seamless sharing experience across Workspace.

Using functions in Connected Sheets for BigQuery 
Today, Connected Sheets for BigQuery supports 23 Sheets functions, such as AVERAGE and XLOOKUP. However, all of these functions behave somewhat differently than their native counterparts. Thus, to help Connected Sheets users write better functions, we now display context-aware Help Center content in Sheets. The ‘formula help’ shows descriptions for Connected Sheets functions when writing a formula that would query BigQuery, and otherwise shows descriptions of native Sheets functions. | This is available now to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts. | Learn more about the XLOOKUP function.

Launch the Lucidspark whiteboarding app directly from Google Meet Series One Board 65 and Desk 27 devices

por | Jan 16, 2024 | Noticias

What’s changing 

In September 2023, we announced the next phase of digital whiteboarding for Google Workspace. At that time, we announced that new whiteboarding tools would soon be integrated with Series One Board 65 and Desk 27 devices. By the end of the month, Lucidspark by Lucid Software can be launched directly from these devices. With this integration, users will be able to share and participate in a Lucidspark whiteboard session in a Meet call, either initiated from the Series One Board 65 and Desk 27 or a remote participant on the call.

Who’s impacted

Admins and end users

Why you’d use it 

Integrating third-party collaboration tools is a key component of the new digital whiteboarding experience in Google Workspace. Specifically, we’ve heard from our customers that whiteboarding tools like Lucidspark by Lucid Software help their teams work better together with features like infinite canvas, templates, and diagramming. Today, Lucidspark can already be launched inside a Meet call from your laptop. Now, you also have the option to use Lucidspark on the Board 65 and Desk 27 devices within a Meet call.
Later this year we’ll introduce support for launching FigJam and Miro directly from Board 65 and Desk 27 devices. We’ll provide an update here on the Workspace Updates blog with more information at that time. For more information on the future of digital whiteboarding in Workspace, please refer to our initial announcement.
