Previous announcements
The announcements below were published on the Workspace Updates blog earlier this week. Please refer to the original blog posts for complete details.
Enhancing meeting privacy for copied Calendar events
When users copy or duplicate events in Calendar, the Meet conference won’t be copied over. This ensures that Meet access and meeting notes remain tied to the original event and its attendees. If the user intends to participate in the same Meet conference, they can copy over the Meet code separately. | Learn more about the updates to copied Calendar events.

Seamlessly join Google Meet conferences from any calendar app
With this launch, the Google Meet link will be added to the location field when a Google Calendar user invites a user of a different calendar app (such as Microsoft Outlook) to a meeting with Google Meet. This helps users of other calendar services such as Outlook to easily find the Meet link when it's time to join by ensuring it doesn't get lost in the event details. | Learn more about the easier way to access Google Meet from other calendar apps.
