Gmail has a new look for the experience aiming to be a little bit more slack like they want to bring the workspace into one location This comes after much-needed upgrades to the Google meet experience, So Google want Gmail to be your home for work So to be clear before we start the individual accounts aren't changing but according to the verge Google have stated.
They're actively thinking about how to bring this to the free accounts So Google believed that you start your day with email and in reality that is probably the case in the majority of situations They also believe that hopping between chat Applications and email is the worst and I can imagine that too direct call out for applications like slack So in an attempt to fix this they're introducing a new ability called chat. This is essentially real-time chat and what you had before in hangouts So inside of the new Google Workspace we experienced you'll still get Google meet for calls inside of Google meet now You'll see a new window that shows all of your upcoming meetings. This is available through Google Calendar and it allows you to bring in upcoming meetings that you have in your day so Google also believe that Project Work happens in different places.
This is probably a call to project management software where conversations go on about specific tools in comments They want to introduce a new feature, which I think is probably the biggest feature is called rooms. It's essentially like thread based conversations, which allows you to manage both your files and tasks Google says making rooms an even better solution for long term projects So inside of rooms you get a window for files and you can essentially start managing your tasks with whoever's in that For the project.
It's very simple, but allows you to do some of the basics you would with a task management application so this is all available through the web edition the desktop Edition and it's very helpful because both Experiences are the same a mobile and on web. They also have this new focused mode so that Notifications can be muted for a specific amount of time And also when you're in a meeting they want to protect your time So you if you're in a meeting will appear as in a meeting for the last 31 minutes This doesn't happen in applications like SWAC, but I guess you could do a workaround with a slack bot. So inside of the demo video they showcase Google Calendar You can check them using the widgets on the left hand side But inside of Google Calendar events, you can now add rooms to those events.
So you can associate a room to a specific event Now rooms allow you to add threaded replies. You can choose that as an option. You can also add people that are outside of your organization You can choose whether they get email notifications on them and also adding specific people to the conversation You can even add an avatar to each of your rooms So you can also add reactions inside of any of the conversations you're having inside of rooms So the new my meetings is very helpful You can see a dashboard over all of your upcoming meetings who's going to be in them and create as much detail as possible Before you go in so one of the biggest changes I'd say to the tree-sweet workspace as well is the ability to Co edit Documents within Gmail without moving out and you can also have in-line meet conversations.
They have you can also externally tag people into a room they aren't necessarily part of your organization and they'll be able to communicate in the room as well as Edit the document. I believe that are associated with the rooms Now if you're curious about how tasks work They're super simple You can assign people You can add dates and also some notes to the tasks and you do get this view it allows you to add and show more Details as well as adding due dates as well Now in terms of the Google suite experience to be honest, it just adds more bang to your buck some of the smaller things I noticed might actually get you even more excited about this new upgrade So search becomes a little bit smarter, you can open search and start looking for people and types of items For example, if you wanted to see where the suraj sent a PDF, you can find that all there Up in the top right hand corner you now have some in good status. I believe you can update this Although I haven't seen the option available.
It has a drop-down So I assume you can change this to A different status and there may be a few creative ones a little a bit like how slack works Now one of the things they didn't see in some of the preview videos is if you open up mail It doesn't seem to have this broken down Gmail sections For example being able to get a filtered email system. Looks like you've got smaller filters there You can narrow down your conversations to but I don't think they have this Old-school way of organizing it. So a few other smaller things you can now pin important meetings. So they're easier to find inside of the drive area you can add comments and open in Drive and also on the left hand side when you're inside of art the applications specifically inside of the docs that clean the sidebar makes it easier so you can view your Sidebar and apps and they also tuck away when you need them to So Google have also stated some changes and updates to Google meet and chat Apparently you have two new things coming the knocking controls.
So apparently once an attendee is ejected They won't be able to attempt to join the same meeting. There's also safety locks So hosts can now decide which attendees can chat all present in the meeting So it looks like and it sounds like Google is investing in this working from home And this definitely brings the whole Google experience a lot more together. I feel like in the last few years It's been definitely this dissent associated with each other and it's been at different locations So this definitely cleans everything up whether Google continue to invest and improve this Will be to be seen but at the same time it's definitely for those Googlers out there a much needed upgrade.
