Jamboard on the web now lets you see the version history of a Jam file and restore a previous version.

This is the same behavior you are familiar with from other Google Workspace applications like Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Version history makes it easy to see changes to a Jamboard and who made them.

To see a Jamboard's version history, click More Actions Screenshot of version history button, See version history.

Trash has been added to Google Contacts, making it easier for you to recover contacts that you have accidentally deleted. Now, when you delete a contact on any device - web, Android, and iOS - it will go into Trash, where it will stay for 30 days before being permanently deleted. In that time, you can view, restore, or permanently delete the contact.

Note: Trash can only be viewed and managed on the web.

The latest improvements to Google Meet will enhance your video meeting experience:

See More Participants with the Titled Layout View

You can now see up to 16 people at the same time in the tile layout option. When you present your screen in a tiled view, the main speaker appears in a large tile at the top and moves the most active participants to the side or bottom. Learn how to change your layout view.

Share High-Quality Video and Audio via Present a Chrome Tab

You can now share high-quality video and audio contents (e.g., Youtube video) using the new present ‘A Chrome tab’ option. When you are presenting your screen with this option, participants will see and hear the video and audio being shared. Learn how to present a Chrome tab.

Start a Video Meeting Anywhere with Mobile Device Low-Light Mode

Google Meet will now automatically enhance your video to adapt to low light conditions on your Android or iOS devices.
