What's new for Google Workspace users?

A new experience for Google Contacts

It helps users to get more information about their colleagues. In Contacts or in the Contacts sidebar, it will be possible to see more detailed information about other people, for example:
  • Your management chain, department and title
  • A history of your relationship in Workspace, including email conversations and meetings

Why is it important? 

Today, work requires a higher level of interaction, collaboration and connection. That's why it's useful to have more information about the people we interact with. What and with whom they work, and what is important to them.
- Note: To maximize the value of this feature, it is useful to fully propagate user data to all Google Workspace applications. Workspace administrators can propagate this data from different locations:
  • The "Users" section of the Administration Console
  • Google Cloud Directory Sync
  • Admin SDK

Up to 25 co-hosts per meeting, moderation and security features

Several highly requested features will be implemented in Google Meet. You will now be able to:
  • Assign up to 25 co-hosts per meeting, allowing them to access and use the host controls.
  • Use security features to limit who can share your screen, send chat messages, mute all users, and end meetings.
  • Use the "Quick Access" settings to easily control who needs to request permission to join a meeting.
Previously, these security features were only available to Google Workspace for Education customers.
The controls are expected to make it easier to keep meetings productive, safe and help prevent interruptions. In addition, delegated co-hosts can handle responsibilities such as muting participants, launching polls, administering questions and answers, providing more time to focus on leading discussions and guiding attendees through presentations.

Additional details

New controls for meeting hosts, which can be extended to co-hosts

In the Google Meet settings, when selecting "Host Controls" the "Host Management" option must be enabled. When enabled, hosts are now able to:

  • Limit who can share your screen,
  • Limit who can send chat messages,
  • Mute everything with one click,
  • End the meeting for everyone,
  • Control who can join the meeting and how they can join with the "Quick Access" settings. Note: this feature is only available for specific Workspace editions (detailed below).

Quick access controls

Quick Access control will be ON by default. When quick access is enabled, meeting participants from your domain can automatically join the meeting from a mobile or desktop device.

When quick access is disabled:

  • The host must join the meeting first.
  • Only invited participants may join without asking; all other attendees and those dialing in must request to join the meeting.
  • No anonymous user can join the meeting.
  • Only the host can dial out of the meeting.

Auto-saving of the progress of answers in forms and questionnaires

When you answer a Google Form, quiz or quiz assignment in Classroom after you are logged into a Google Account, it will automatically save your progress as a draft for 30 days from your last edit or until the submission is complete.

Why it is important

This much-requested feature helps ensure that you don't have to start over if the following occurs:

  • It is not possible to complete a form or questionnaire in a single session.
  • More than one device must be used.
  • Due to low Internet connectivity.

Editors and form owners can disable this function for persons answering a specific form.

What's new for Google Workspace administrators?

Optimizations for user and domain management in the Administrator Console

Earlier this year, the main page of the Administration Console was redesigned to allow people to navigate more quickly and easily find items to manage.

The new enhancements will allow administrators to improve the management of flows such as:

  • Add users and their profile pictures
  • Update and delete users (and rename them)
  • Manage domains and change top-level domains

User administration updates:

  • Add a user

When you select "Add a user" in the Administration Console, you will see a new full-screen dialog that displays the essential fields first, including the user's primary and secondary email addresses and domain information.

  • Assign passwords
Possibility to choose whether you want to create or automatically generate a password for users. Also specify whether users must change their password when they first log in to their Google Workspace account. Note: The default setting is to automatically generate a password to comply with industry standard account security standards.

  • Assign profile pictures
From the same form, you can assign the user an organizational unit and upload a profile picture for him/her.
In addition, the option to allow your users to update their profile picture is now more visible. You can find this setting in the "More" drop-down menu in the user management section of the Administration Console.

 

  • Delete a user
The updates provide more information on what happens when a user is deleted, alternatives to deleting a user, and data transfer options.

Domain management updates:

In the new "Action" column, administrators can quickly view and perform actions such as "Remove", "Add users", "Configure redirection" and much more.
The "Status" column will better reflect what status a particular domain is in, such as "Verified", "Gmail activated" or "Verify domain". In addition, you will be able to verify a domain or activate Gmail directly from the column and view additional information, such as how Gmail was configured for that specific domain.
