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.

Updated admin setting for improved video quality in Google Meet

In April 2026, we updated Meet to improve video quality on high-resolution displays. We’re now updating the way the Admin console setting that limits video bandwidth works to reduce data usage and improve call quality. | Learn more.

 

Educators and students can now share Gemini Canvas creations directly to Google Classroom

Educators and students of all ages can now seamlessly attach Gemini Canvas artifacts, like websites, quizzes, interactive games, infographics, and more, to Google Classroom assignments and posts. | Learn more.

Assign mobile device management admin privileges based on organizational unit

We’re giving admins more granular control over how mobile device management privileges are delegated. Specifically, admins can be assigned privileges for specific organizational units (OUs), adding another layer of security by scoping access only to necessary OUs. | Learn more.

Data regions support for the Gemini app now available

The Gemini app adheres to your organization’s data regionalization requirements. As with Google Workspace, admins have the flexibility to configure controls for EU storage and processing, US storage and processing, or both, including granular settings down to the organizational unit (OU) level. | Learn more.

 

Create fully native and editable presentations with Gemini in Google Slides

You can now create a full, multi-slide presentation using Gemini in Google Slides. With a single prompt, you can ground the presentation in existing content from Google Drive, match the style of another presentation, and build fully editable slides, allowing you to make any necessary adjustments. | Learn more.

Ask Gemini in Drive now available on mobile

In April, we announced the general availability of Ask Gemini in Drive on the web. We’re now bringing this feature to the Drive Android and iOS apps. | Learn more.

Work with delegated Gmail accounts from mobile devices

Previously, users could only work with delegated Gmail accounts through the web interface. We are updating the Gmail app for iOS and Android to allow delegates to read, manage, and compose emails on behalf of a delegator directly from their mobile devices. | Learn more.

AI Overviews in Drive now available on mobile

In April, we announced the general availability for Drive AI Overviews in Drive on the web. We’re now bringing this feature to the Drive Android and iOS apps. | Learn more.

Import 3D bar charts into Google Sheets

Google Sheets now fully supports the import of 3D bar charts. Previously, when users imported files containing 3D bar charts into Sheets, they would be displayed as 2D bar charts. With this update, importing these types of files, including from Microsoft Excel, will yield a more seamless experience. | Learn more.
