Educators and students of all ages can now seamlessly attach Gemini Canvas artifacts, like websites, quizzes, interactive games, infographics, and more, to Google Classroom assignments and posts. Right from Gemini Canvas, users can click on the “Share to to Classroom” button. This update allows users to enrich their classroom communication and coursework by embedding interactive materials directly into their existing workflows.

By removing the friction of exporting or linking external files, this feature helps teachers diversify their lesson materials and enables students to share creative outputs more efficiently. The integration ensures that rich, interactive media is easily accessible to everyone in the class, supporting a more engaging and dynamic digital learning environment.

Getting started

• Admins:
• The ability to share Gemini Canvas artifacts will be ON by default and can be managed via a new Admin console setting. Additionally, sharing is governed by your organization’s existing Drive sharing policies. If Drive content is set to be shareable outside the organization, your Gemini assets will be as well. Visit the Help Center to learn more.
• To share Gemini Canvas artifacts to Google Classroom, students and educators must also be in a group or OU with Gemini set to On. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Gemini on or off for users.
• End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. If enabled by your admin, you can share your Gemini canvases and media to Classroom, select Share > Share to Classroom > select the class and/or assignment you want to share it with. Visit the Help Center to learn more about Gemini.

In April 2026, we updated Meet to improve video quality on high-resolution displays. We’re now updating the way the Admin console setting that limits video bandwidth works to reduce data usage and improve call quality.

Previously, the ‘Limit video bandwidth’ setting only limited video bandwidth on the uplink; it now limits bandwidth on the downlink as well. In addition, we’re improving quality for two-person calls by increasing the uplink bandwidth usage in this scenario.

Updated setting for Meet default video quality

Getting started

• Admins: Your existing settings will remain applied.  Visit the Help Center to learn more about configuring default video quality.
• End users: There is no end user setting for this feature.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 29, 2026

Availability

• Available to all Google Workspace customers

Resources

• Google Admin Help: Manage Meet settings (for admins)
• Google Admin Help: Configuring default video quality
