Context-Aware Access policies can now be applied to all internal and third-party apps using OpenID Connect
Admins can now apply Context-Aware Access (CAA) policies to apps which use OpenID Connect (OIDC), which are a subset of OAuth apps that are authenticated using Google sign-in. Admins can use a single setting to apply CAA policies to all OIDC apps by default. | Learn more about the new CAA / OIDC expansion.

Adding image support to Gemini in the side panel of Google Drive
we’re happy to announce that Gemini can now answer questions or give you summaries about images in Drive. For example, you could now ask Gemini to summarize this image, extract text from this image, extract information from this receipt/invoice into a table, generate alternate text for this image, or write a story about this image. | Learn more about using Gemini on images in Google Drive.
Image editing now available in the Gemini app
We’re bringing a significant update to the Gemini app for Google Workspace users: the introduction of powerful image editing capabilities. The updates will enable you to reimagine photos with prompts. You can start with a generated image or upload your own, and then prompt Gemini to combine it with other photos, change the context or location, change details within the image, and more. | Learn more about image editing in the Gemini app.
Gemini in Google Sheets helps you create dynamic and easily referenced tables
Building on the introduction of intelligent suggestions for table conversion, we’re now using Gemini to make tables in Sheets even more useful. Now, when you accept a “Convert to table” suggestion, Gemini will automatically format your data as a table and create a meaningful table name (e.g., Project_Status). | Learn more about using Gemini to make Sheets tables even more useful.

Edit videos more easily using the transcript in Google Vids
We know it's common for people to record themselves and later discover distracting pauses, and “uhms” and “uhs.” Or, after recording, you could decide you want to cut out an entire sentence to shorten a clip. Instead of having to record the entire clip over, Gemini in Vids can now generate a transcript of your recording, and then identify and trim filler words and awkward pauses out of the transcript with one click to help you sound your best and eliminate tedious editing tasks. | Learn more about editing via the transcript in Google Vids.
Deliver your message with AI avatars in Google Vids
Starting today, you can deliver a polished and consistent message by writing a script and choosing an AI avatar to deliver your content in Google Vids. Simply go to vids.new, click “AI Avatars”, type a script in the AI avatar right side panel, choose a persona, and Vids will generate a video for you to preview within minutes. Whether you need a reliable way to present information clearly for a dozen training videos or you don’t have time or budget to film the right spokesperson for your video, AI avatars provide a fast, consistent way to narrate your videos. | Learn more about generating AI avatars in Vids.
