We’re excited to introduce annotation tools in Google Meet. Presenters and their appointed co-annotators can use these tools to highlight content or make other notations over presented content.
Annotations will be on by default when you begin presenting — you can open the annotations menu to access various tools such as a pen, disappearing ink, sticker, text box, and more.
To assign a co-annotator, from the people panel or by hovering over a user’s video tile, select more options (three-dot icon) > add as co-annotator. For more information about who can co-annotators, see the “Additional details” section below.
Annotating and co-annotating are available for select Google Workspace editions (see availability section below). Anyone can view annotated content during a meeting.

At the time of launch, please note that:
Android users can use annotations when they present their screen and select the Entire Screen option. Android co-annotation will follow in a future release.iOS users cannot use annotations when presenting. They can use annotations if they are appointed a co-annotator by a web user.
We’ll provide more information here on the Workspace Updates blog as functionality for mobile devices expands.

1 New update
Unless otherwise indicated, the features below are available to all Google Workspace customers, and are fully launched or in the process of rolling out. Rollouts should take no more than 15 business days to complete if launching to both Rapid and Scheduled Release at the same time. If not, each stage of rollout should take no more than 15 business days to complete.
Simplified troubleshooting of user issues in the Admin console
When viewing a user’s detail page in the Admin console, you’ll notice new “Investigate”, “Security”, and “Groups” tabs. Within these tabs, you can find all user-related information from security alerts to audit logs, group memberships, and security policies applied to the user. You can click out to the relevant sections of the Admin console where you can find more information on the event and take action if needed. Centralizing this information should reduce the time and effort required by admins to assess and take action on user issues. | This is available now to Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Essentials Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Fundamentals, Education Standard, Education Plus, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade and Frontline customers. | Learn more about
investigating user problems with log events.
Previous announcements
The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog earlier this week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.
Assign the audit and investigation privilege on a per-application basis
When delegating admin privileges for the Audit and Investigation Tool, you can now restrict access levels to audit data on a per application basis (eg: Admin, Drive logs etc.). This change ensures that access isn’t too broadly provisioned and delegated admins only have access to the apps relevant to their scope. | Learn more about
assigning privileges.

Since September 2023, Workspace users have enjoyed the convenience of launching FigJam,
Figma’s free online whiteboard, directly in Google Meet. We’re excited to announce that you can now launch FigJam both in and out of an active Meet call from the Series One
Board 65 and
Desk 27 devices.

Why you’d use it
Prior to this update, these rich collaborative tools were only available within a Meet call — now you can launch them from Board 65 and Desk 27 devices outside of a call for on-demand collaboration and problem solving. Existing Jamboard customers can find more resources related to the
FigJam and Google Meet integration here.
Additional details
Migrating your Jamboard files to Figma

What’s changing
To protect our customers from malicious actors taking sensitive admin actions, we’re launching multi-party approvals where one admin must approve certain sensitive actions initiated by another. Multi-party approvals will be required for the following settings:
2-Step verificationAccount recoveryAdvanced Protection Google session controlLogin Challenges
Passwordless (beta)
This feature is available for eligible Workspace customers with multiple super admin accounts — see the “Getting started” section below for more information.
Who’s impacted
Admins
Why it’s important
Multi-party approvals adds an extra layer of security for sensitive actions taken in the Admin console by ensuring no sensitive action happens in a silo and, most importantly, helps prevent unauthorized or accidental changes from being made. This added layer of approval helps ensure actions are being taken appropriately and not too broadly or too often. Additionally, this is more convenient for admins because the action is executed automatically after approval and the requester doesn’t need to take additional action. Multi-party approvals makes super admins aware of what changes are being attempted and gives them the opportunity to accept or reject these sensitive actions.
Outlined below is an example of the feature in action, in this case there is an attempt to make a change to 2-step verification policies:
When 2-step verification changes are attempted, admins will be required to submit the change to a super admin for approval.
Super admins can review and take action on these requests in the Admin console by navigating to Security > Multi-party approval. Super admins will also receive email alerts when a 2-step verification change is requested or any other protected action is attempted.
Admins can open a specific approval request to view more information including who is impacted by the change, what the configuration was before the change and what it will be after the change.
Getting started
Admins: This feature is available for eligible Workspace customers with two or more super admin accounts. Multi-party approvals are OFF by default and can be turned on in the Admin console by going to Security > Multi-party approval settings. Visit the Help Center to learn more about
multi-party approvals for sensitive actions.
