Google is launching a new integration between Gmail and Chat designed to improve team collaboration and productivity. Starting from a Gmail thread, you can initiate a chat with the existing email recipients, a subset, or a new group. The email is automatically forwarded and recipients can open it directly from a link in Chat. This enables you to switch to Chat for active discussion while preserving the connection to the original message.
Educators can now assign public notebooks in Google Classroom

This update significantly expands the access to educational content available to educators and students.
Control whether users can request to join a space in Google Chat
A new setting in Google Chat allows space owners and managers to control whether users can request to join a space. Previously, if someone received a link to a space that required permission for them to join, they could send a request to space owners and managers. With this new feature, space owners and managers can now further restrict access by disabling the "request to join" option.
Fine-tune your network for Meet live streaming with extended quality metrics
Google Meet audit events logged for live stream viewers now contain an extended set of quality metrics. These metrics can help admins understand their viewers' perceived quality when participating in live streams. The quality metrics can be used to identify potential network configuration adjustments that can improve the live streaming experience.
Data classification labels visible in more places across Google Drive
A Drive item’s applied data classification values will now appear across all views on Drive on the web. Previously, users needed to either navigate to Details or open the file to know a Drive item’s classification state. Now, users will immediately see the applied classification values when navigating throughout the Drive product.
