A new G Suite update is transforming Gmail into the “home for work,” officials said, by combining many of Google’s existing collaboration tools into the Gmail interface.<\/p>\n
Javier Soltero, VP and GM, G Suite, said the update is necessary to help companies affected by COVID-19 stay-at-home orders adapt to the new reality of work. “Virtual meetings, remote collaboration, flexible hours: it’s becoming clear that these new ways of working are here to stay,” Soltero said in a blog post detailing the updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Gmail integrated workspace<\/a> brings together what Soltero called three core pillars of communication—email, chat, and video. Combining these tools into Gmail’s interface is a way to eliminate the need to learn a new collaboration tool and allow “the tools we already use to be even more helpful, and work together, in an integrated, intuitive way,” Soltero said.<\/p>\n Google cited several available features as part of the communication centralization into Gmail, including integrating Google Meet into the Gmail web client and mobile apps and the addition of Google Chat into Gmail’s web client<\/a>, which will soon come to the iOS and Android versions of Gmail as well.<\/p>\n Along with those existing features, Google announced new features coming to Gmail as part of the updates:<\/p>\n Soltero’s blog post also mentioned new security features coming to G Suite, like Google Meet participants ejected from calls being unable to attempt to rejoin unless the host re-invites them, and safety locks that allow meeting hosts to limit who can speak and present in meetings. <\/p>\n Gmail’s existing real-time phishing protections are being added to Google Chat as well; links that are clicked on in messages will be scanned and blocked if their destinations appear suspicious or malicious.<\/p>\n These new integrations for Gmail aren’t available to G Suite subscribers yet, but Google said it will be rolling them out in the coming weeks. G Suite customers can sign up to be notified when the update is available for their organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Brandon Vigliarolo <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
