Google Meet hardware devices can now trust HTTPS certificates signed by a private certificate authority (CA). This simplifies the process of setting up and managing third-party user control interfaces (UCIs), especially in high impact meeting spaces with systems like Q-SYS.
Previously, you had to get certificates signed by a public CA to enable Google Meet hardware touch controllers to load third-party UCIs. This process was often time-consuming and expensive, and required frequent renewals.
Now, Google Meet hardware devices can trust certificates signed by a private certificate authority, enabling them to securely load a third-party room control system’s UCI. This gives you more control over your network security and eliminates the costs and complexities associated with public certificate signing.

In May 2024, we launched the ability for admins to remotely configure managed iOS apps on end-user devices via Google Mobile Device Management.
Beginning today, admins can use tokens in the app configurations for managed iOS apps. Tokens act as placeholders for information specific to a user or device that uses the app, such as a user’s email address or their device serial number. Previously, configuration data was static, but this update gives admins the flexibility to configure devices dynamically according to various users and devices.

Last year, we introduced Read Along in Google Classroom, a new feature that helps students build their independent reading skills by enabling teachers to assign differentiated reading content, based on Lexile® measure, grade level, or phonics skills.
Read Along in Classroom includes access to a growing library of decodable books from Heggerty that educators can assign to practice specific decoding skills. To improve upon the current analytics dashboard experience and provide teachers with phonics-based performance insights for decodable books, we’re adding a new analysis section.
With this update, teachers will see details about how a student or class is performing on the individual phonics skills listed in a decodable book and words that need practice.
Getting started
- Admins:
- End users: The phonics analysis dashboard will only appear for newly created decodable book assignments. This can be accessed by clicking on the assignment name in the “Grades” section of Google Classroom. Existing assignments will keep on showing the data as earlier. Visit the Help Center to learn more about Read Along in Google Classroom.

For Google Workspace customers with Chrome Enterprise Core, we’re pleased to introduce a new Chrome browser profile list and reporting features for signed-in Google Workspace users. These new capabilities give IT administrators more insight into Chrome user profiles in their organization . The report includes a new managed profiles list and detail pages where IT administrators can find information such as profile details, browser versions, policies applied, extensions installed and more. The list of extensions installed allows you to identify versions of extensions that can potentially be a risk factor for your users.
Overall, this update significantly improves how admins analyze how their users are interacting with Chrome and allows them to take action to keep their users and data secure in Chrome.
Once enabled, you can view reports by going to Admin console > Chrome browser > Managed profiles
Getting started
- Admins: Admins can simply log in to the Google Admin console and enable the Managed profile reporting policy. Visit the Help Center to learn more about viewing Chrome browser profile details.
To enable reporting, go to Menu > Devices > Chrome > Settings > User & browser settings > Chrome Browser > Browser Reporting > Managed Browser Reporting

Earlier this year, we launched the ability to configure third-party apps by select API scopes to
open beta. Beginning today, this feature is now generally available.
This update gives admins more granular control. They can limit third-party app access to specific OAuth 2.0 scopes for
Google APIs, like
Drive or
Gmail. This prevents apps from gaining additional access without admin consent, even if they request new API scopes in the future. This helps ensure data access is restricted to only what admins deem necessary.

Last year, we introduced a beta that gives Google Forms creators more granular control over who can respond to their forms via sharing settings.
Previously, form creators had two sharing options: restrict responses to users within their domain (and trusted domains) or
make forms public (i.e. anyone with the URL can respond).
With this new option, now generally available, form creators can limit response access to specific users, groups, or
target audiences—similar to how file owners can restrict the sharing of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides or Sites in Drive.
Who’s impacted
Admins, end users and developers
Why you’d use it
This feature is useful in any scenario where you’d like to control who can respond to a form. For example, business leaders can better collect feedback from specific organizational units and prevent the form from being responded to by other teams or organization units. Similarly, teachers can use this to ensure a quiz is only accessible to select students who receive the link.
Getting started
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
- End users:
- Form creators must publish their form to enable responders to view the form or submit a response.
- Form creators can see who has access to the form and share response access to specific users, groups, or target audiences.
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about publishing & sharing your form with responders.
Rollout pace
Availability
- Available to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts
- Note: The target audiences feature mentioned above is only available for the Google Drive and Docs and Google Chat services. Supported editions for this feature on Drive, Docs & Chat include: Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Standard, Education Plus, Enterprise Essentials and Enterprise Essentials Plus. Supported editions for this feature on Drive & Docs only include: Business Standard, Nonprofits and G Suite Business.
