Earlier this year, we introduced Enterprise Content Delivery Network (eCDN) to enhance livestreaming in Google Meet. When configured by admins, eCDN has the potential to reduce bandwidth consumption to a fraction of the traffic volume through peer-assisted media delivery.
However, environments that have additional security requirements would not be able to benefit from the network traffic savings enabled by eCDN. That changes today with the introduction of the eCDN On-Premises API for Google Meet, which admins can use to configure their network for eCDN while keeping classified IP addresses and network information private. Specifically, IP addresses will be replaced with self-assigned peering group names and encrypted information for session description protocol (SDP) handshakes. This ensures that no IP information is shared with Google, so customers can take advantage of eCDN while adhering to their own security guidelines.

Wer ist davon betroffen?
Admins
Warum es wichtig ist
The eCDN On-Premises API can be used to deploy eCDN for Google Meet live streaming in a way that allows the eCDN tracker service to optimize peering topologies without access to internal network information such as IP addresses or subnets. A customer-supplied service uses the API to replace all IP address information with arbitrary text labels. The service also manages encryption of SDP offers/answers using encryption keys that are never made available to Google. Any decryption needed by client peers is performed completely inside the customer’s own network. No network information is sent outside the organization’s network, not even to Google. This ensures that bandwidth-optimized media delivery via eCDN can also be implemented in sensitive environments without compromising organizations’ internal security guidelines.

Google Drive’s Information Rights Management (IRM) capability protects documents from data exfiltration actions, specifically downloading, printing, and copying. This is useful for making sure that sensitive content is protected from data leakage.
Historically, this feature has only been applicable to users with either the “viewer” or “commenter” role, which has left administrators unable to apply the setting to users with either “owner” or “editor” roles. To address this, we’re expanding IRM to be applicable to all users, including file editors and owners, when it is applied by a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rule.
The new Enhanced IRM action, as seen in the DLP Rule creation flow.
Zusätzliche Details
When an editor or owner is affected by IRM, they will retain the ability to copy and paste document content, but they may only do so within that document. Attempting to paste content outside of the document will not succeed. For more information, please refer to the help center content.
Erste Schritte
- Admins: DLP rules and CAA levels are applied per-file based on how these rules are configured.
- Endverbraucher: Only administrators can set IRM for all user roles on a file. File owners may still only set IRM for viewers and commenters. If a file has both an administrator-applied IRM setting and a file owner setting on it, the administrator setting takes priority. Once this feature is enabled, all entry points for downloading, printing, and copying will be removed from Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides on all platforms. Visit the Help Center to learn more about stopping, limiting, or changing how your files are shared.

Was sich ändert
Im Jahr 2023, we expanded grading systems in Google Classroom and in 2024 we added a
‘missing’ grade state to Gradebook. To further improve upon grading options for teachers and give them the ability to perform bulk grading, we’re introducing ‘grade all’.
With this new feature, teachers can quickly and efficiently grade all students’ work on the Gradebook page by selecting ‘grade all’. They can also choose to override existing grades and automatically return them to students after grading.
Not only does this update save time by eliminating the need to enter each student’s grade one-by-one, but it also provides a solution to grading assignments based on completion rather than accuracy (such as exit tickets, due nows, classwork, etc.) where the grade is binary (‘0’ or ‘100’).
Wer ist davon betroffen?
Endverbraucher
Warum das wichtig ist
‘Grade all’ enables teachers to score faster and save time, ultimately making grading more efficient.
Erste Schritte
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
- Endverbraucher:
- Once a teacher has set up grading, they can follow these steps to grade all:
- Go to Google Classroom > Gradebook > In the 3 dot menu for an assignment click “Grade all” > In the dialog that opens, input the bulk grade
- [Optional] Select “Override existing grades” to override existing grades with the new bulk grade
- [Optional] Select “Automatically return after grading” to return all grades after submitting the new bulk grade.

In continuing our efforts to ensure AI helps educators save time, create captivating learning experiences, and inspire creativity, we’re introducing a new way to generate vocabulary lists with the help of Gemini.
Starting today, educators can generate custom word lists that are tailored to specific grade levels and topics identified by the educator. Specifically, the list will provide the word’s grammatical category, a clear definition, and a relevant example sentence to help students understand and use the vocabulary effectively. This functionality is accessible via the “Gemini Education” tab in Google Classroom.
