A summary of announcements from the last week:The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog over the last week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.New to Google Meet: Continue your conversations in Google ChatGStarting November 10, your Google Meet in-meeting messages will be powered by and available in Google Chat. That means the meaningful feedback that was messaged during the meeting, or key resources and links that were shared are now easily accessible to meeting attendees after the meeting, in a shared Google Chat conversation. | Learn more about continuing conversations between Chat and Meet. Controls for restricting conversation creation in Google Chat available to more organizationsWe are expanding an existing Google Chat feature to more Workspace customers. This feature gives administrators the ability to limit who can create new conversations in Google Chat. When this setting is applied to users (through an organizational unit or a Google Group), those users will be prevented from initiating new conversations, or adding new members to existing conversations. | Learn more about the new Google Chat controls. Updated Chat header helps you navigate chat more quickly and easilyWe are introducing a redesigned Google Chat conversation header on the web. The new header offers a simpler, more consistent layout that makes key tools easier to find and use. It includes a side panel where users can access shared content and manage tasks without leaving the conversation view. | Learn more about the new header in Google Chat. Set sharing expirations on files and folders in shared drivesWe previously introduced the option to set expirations on files that reside in shared drives using the Google Drive API. Today, we are bringing the ability to set expiring access for files and folders in shared drives directly from the sharing dialog. This highly-requested feature brings the ease and security of My Drive access controls into your collaborative shared drives. | Learn more about expiring access in shared drives. Bringing inline threading to direct messages in Google ChatWe’re excited to announce that inline threading is rolling out for direct messages (DMs) and group direct messages (gDMs) in Google Chat.
