What’s changing
Earlier this year,
we announced a Google Classroom beta that simplifies lesson planning with shareable class templates and classwork. We’re excited to announce that this is now globally available for Google Workspace for Education Plus customers in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese.
Curriculum leads and
verified teachers can now share links to high-quality classes and class templates so other educators in their organization can preview and import classwork to an existing class or to a new class. This will provide educators with ideas for instructional design and enable them stay up-to-date with the best materials.
Who’s impacted
End users
Why you’d use it
This feature enables curriculum leads and teachers to easily distribute standardized curricula or classroom content to others in their organization. As a result, fellow educators can easily preview, select, and import high-quality classwork into their classes.
Additional details
Student information, such as assignment submissions, comments, and grades, will not be visible when previewing a shared class. Imported class materials will be saved in draft mode for the selected class.
Getting started
Admins: There is no admin control for this feature, however, Admins should make sure the following is set up for end users: In order to share classes, educators must have a Google Workspace for Education Plus license
assigned to them. To preview and import classwork from shared classes, educators must be
verified teachers. End users: To share a class, click the “Share classwork” button on the Classwork page. After receiving a class link, open it in your browser. When previewing the shared class, select the classwork items you want to export to a class. Visit the Help Center to learn more about
sharing class templates and classwork. Rollout

What’s changing
Last year, we introduced new
appointment scheduling features to help you set more relevant meeting durations and tailor your calendar view to match your preferences. In our effort to further improve upon the current appointment scheduling experience, we’re adding the options to:
Add up to 20 co-hosts to your appointment schedule during the setup process so you can host appointments with others.
Create appointment schedules on secondary calendars. Prior to this update, you could only create appointment schedules on your own primary calendar. Now, you can create the schedule and receive booked events on secondary calendars as well. This can be particularly useful when multiple users, such as a team, need access to the same set of office hours. Everyone with permission to use the secondary calendar can make changes to the schedule and view incoming bookings. The appointment schedule can check the secondary calendar for availability, but cannot check the availability of all users with access to the secondary calendar.
Expand the delegate access functionality to appointment scheduling. Currently, delegate access enables you to let someone else, such as an administrative assistant, access your Google Workspace account to send mail or manage calendar invitations and events on your behalf. Now, the person with delegate access can edit or delete your appointment schedules on your primary calendar. Select “Check calendars for availability”, which enables you to decide whether or not you want to check the availability of calendars added to the appointment schedule. Unchecking this setting means even if there is a conflict on one of the calendars, users will still be able to book that time. This may be useful if you want to prioritize incoming bookings over existing meetings.
Getting started
Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. End users: You cannot add groups or users outside of your domain as a co-host.Co-hosts are not able to see appointment schedule details or make changes. However, if the schedule was created on a shared calendar, the co-host will have access to see details or make changes.Bookings will be visible on the host and any additional co-hosts’ primary calendars.The “Check calendars for availability” feature will be ON by default and can be disabled by unselecting the “Check calendars for availability” box in the appointment schedule editor. Co-hosts calendars are not automatically checked for availability. You can select your co-host’s calendar in the “Check calendars for availability” section to have their availability considered (as long as you are subscribed to that calendar).Visit the Help Center to learn more about
creating an appointment schedule and
customizing your appointment availability.

Unsubscribe from emails on Gmail more easily
We know managing unwanted emails is a source of frustration for many users. That’s why we announced
new guidelines for bulk senders a few months ago to ensure users stay safe. Now, we’re introducing new ways to make it even easier to unsubscribe from unwanted emails in Gmail on web and mobile by:
Adding the unsubscribe button to the hover actions in the threadlist on web. When the unsubscribe button is clicked, Gmail sends a http request or an email to the sender to remove your email address from their mailing list.
Moving the unsubscribe button from the three dot menu to appear more prominently in your email on your Android and iOS devices.
Additionally, we know it is common for people to receive unwanted messages, despite initially signing up to receive them from brands or organizations. These messages often originate from legitimate senders, and marking them as spam can negatively impact the sender’s email reputation and can potentially affect the deliverability of future emails. For this reason, we’re changing the text of the buttons to make it clearer for users to choose between unsubscribing or reporting a message as spam.
These features are now available to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts on web and iOS devices, and are rolling out now on Android devices at an extended pace (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility). | Learn more about
unsubscribing from emails and
reporting spam in Gmail.
Updating the mobile experience on Android tablets and foldable devices
Last year, we announced enhancements to the Google Drive mobile experience on Android tablets. This included several modernizations, such as shifting the navigation bar to the side of the Drive app. Similarly, we’ve moved the navigation bar for Gmail to the side to optimize the experience on tablets and foldable devices. This migration will make it easier for users to switch tabs in Gmail. | Available now to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google Accounts.

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.
Combining effects using Google Meet on the web
Combining effects using Google Meet on a mobile device
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.

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.
