Inbound SCIM APIs are now generally available, allowing IT administrators to sync Google Workspace directory with SCIM-compatible Identity Providers, HR systems, or custom applications in real time. When user permissions change in an external IdP, access to Workspace and downstream apps like Gemini Enterprise updates automatically, eliminating the need for custom directory API integrations.
You can now configure separate, granular access permissions for discovering and joining a space in the Google Chat API, using the new AccessSettings object and accessPermissionSettings field on the spaces resource.
Google Vids now converts Slides content into videos with AI-generated scripts, voiceovers, background music, and animations in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, expanding beyond English support.
Delegates can edit calendar without seeing private event details; recurring visibility now uniform
↗BreakingA new "Make changes (see private events as free/busy)" permission level lets you grant delegates edit access while hiding private event details—they see only busy blocks and cannot edit or search private events. Recurring event visibility settings are now applied uniformly across the entire series, with any private event in the series making all events in that series private.
Fill with Gemini and the AI function in Google Sheets are now available in Mandarin, Dutch, Malay, Hebrew, Polish, Turkish, Czech, Indonesian, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian, expanding from the original eight supported languages.
Occupancy counting is now available on Android-based Neat room hardware, bringing the same capability that exists on ChromeOS devices. Admins can enable the feature at domain, organizational unit, or group level in the Google Admin console and download occupancy data as a spreadsheet; the feature does not collect personally identifiable information and processes data locally on the device.
The Google Chat API now supports reading and updating user availability, including presence state and custom status, with four new methods on the users.availability resource and event subscriptions via Google Workspace Events API. The Google Calendar API introduces a new writerWithoutPrivateAccess role for granular access control, changes visibility propagation rules for recurring events, and adds support for custom labels and colors on events with flexible assignment via the eventLabelId field.
Google Meet hardware devices can now join SIP-compatible video conferences through a Pexip interop gateway, with support for DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) capabilities such as navigating meeting IVRs and entering numeric passcodes. The feature works on both Android and ChromeOS room hardware and is configurable at domain, OU, or group level; a separate Pexip subscription is required.
Educators and students can now attach Gemini Canvas artifacts directly to Google Classroom assignments and posts. Delegates can read, manage, and compose emails on behalf of delegators from iOS and Android Gmail apps, and the Gemini app now supports data regionalization controls at the organizational-unit level. Additional updates include Ask Gemini and AI Overviews in Drive on mobile, mobile device management OU-scoped admin privileges, multi-slide presentation generation in Google Slides, and 3D bar chart import in Sheets.
Imported files containing 3D bar charts, including from Microsoft Excel, now display as 3D instead of being flattened to 2D.
AI Overviews in Drive, previously available on the web, are now rolling out to the Drive Android and iOS apps. Users can get AI-generated summaries of search results from multiple files, ask natural-language queries, and control which Workspace apps Gemini uses for searches.
Gmail app for iOS and Android now lets delegates read, manage, and compose emails on behalf of a delegator, switching between inboxes and viewing unread counts from the account menu. No additional admin or delegator setup is required.
Ask Gemini in Drive is now available on the Drive Android and iOS apps, offering dedicated multi-turn conversations grounded in files and folders, persistent conversation history, and the same security controls as Drive on the web. Rolls out in English and 28 additional languages over the next several weeks; requires Workspace smart features and Gemini for Workspace in Drive enabled.
Google Slides now lets you generate a full multi-slide presentation from a single prompt using Gemini, with support for grounding in Drive files, style references, and outline editing before slide creation. English only at launch; promotional higher usage limits run through August 1, 2026.
The Gemini app now respects organizational data regionalization requirements, letting admins configure EU or US storage and processing at the OU level. Available on Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, Education Standard, and Frontline Plus.
Admin privileges for mobile device management can now be assigned per organizational unit, adding scope-based access control, with improved device display. Previously in beta, this feature is now generally available to all Workspace customers.
Educators and students can now attach Gemini Canvas artifacts — including websites, quizzes, and interactive games — directly to Google Classroom assignments and posts via a Share to Classroom button.
The "Limit video bandwidth" admin setting now also limits bandwidth on the downlink (previously only the uplink), plus improves two-person call quality by increasing uplink bandwidth for that scenario.
Users can join Google Meet from Safari on iOS without installing an app. Gemini in Sheets now diagnoses and fixes formula errors in one click. Google Apps Script is now a Workspace core service with enterprise-grade data protection. Also includes expanded admin password reset alerts, room codes for Meet hardware in early preview, Gemini updates in Classroom, and incremental exports for admin backups.
