Google Workspace Updates
Google Sheets: Easily Add Link to Events and Docs
Google has expanded the use of Smart Chips in Sheets to make it easier to add a link to Calendar events and Docs and Sheets files. Smart Chips are the little cards or menus that appear when a users enters @ into a cell in Sheets, or type it in a Doc. With these updates, when you enter @ in a field, you be able to choose not only a contact, but also a calendar event or a Doc or Sheets file. It will automatically add a link to that event or file, and anyone who clicks on the link will be able to see any other related info about that event or open the file. Both updates should become available around October 25th. See full details and instructions for adding events here. Information about adding a Doc or Sheets file are available here.
Google Meet: Transcribe Speech Into a Google Doc
This new feature will only work on a desktop or laptop computer - not on a mobile device. This update is similar to Meet recordings, but will now be available as a written record of the Meet. For meetings with fewer than 200 attendees, the meeting host, co-hosts or transcript initiator will receive the transcription document via email after the meeting ends. For recurring meetings, the transcript will be automatically attached to the associated calendar invite for the meeting. For meetings with more than 200 attendees, the transcription will only be shared with the meeting organizers, host, co-hosts, and individuals who initiated the transcription. Before joining the meeting, attendees will see a notification informing them when transcripts are active. If the host or co-hosts have turned host management on, only hosts and co-hosts can turn on transcriptions. If host management is off, anyone in-domain participants can use transcripts. This new feature should be available by mid-November. Here are the full details.
