The new filters can be added as chips to filter the device table:

From Menu > Devices > Google Meet hardware > Devices, select “Add a filter”. Any filters you select will be added to the URL so you can save the link or share it with others.





New data columns have been added that enable you to view additional device info at a glance, which include:
  • Boot mode
  • Camera
  • Camera home position
  • Chrome version
  • Content camera
  • Controller
  • Device ID
  • Display
  • End of Meet support
  • Enrollment date

  • Volume

From Menu > Devices > Google Meet hardware > Devices, select the gear icon to add columns. Any columns you select will be added to the URL so you can save the link or share it with others.





Increasing the number of searchable fields makes it easier and faster to find specific groups of devices, which is particularly helpful when managing a large fleet of devices. Quickly finding groups of devices allows you to save time and resources managing and troubleshooting your devices.

View and structure Google Form data as a table in Google Sheets

What’s changing

We're introducing a new feature that enables users to more easily view and structure their Google Form data in Sheets. 

Starting today, when a user initiates the creation of a new sheet using their Forms data, Sheets will automatically open the data as a table, bringing format and structure to your data. If a user opens a pre-existing sheet connected to a Form, there will be no change and the user will need to convert the data to a table by going to Format > Convert to table.

Google Ads API v15 sunset reminder

Google Ads API v15 will sunset on September 25, 2024. After this date, all v15 API requests will begin to fail. Migrate to a newer version prior to September 25, 2024 to ensure your API access is unaffected.

Here are some resources to help you with the migration: You can view a list of methods and services your project has recently called using the Google Cloud Console:
  1. Open the Dashboard page (found under APIs & Services) in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Click Google Ads API in the table.
  3. On the METRICS subtab, you should see your recent requests plotted on each graph. At the bottom of the page, the Methods table shows which methods you’ve sent requests to. The method name includes a Google Ads API version, a service, and a method name, such as google.ads.googleads.v15.services.GoogleAdsService.Mutate. In this way, you can see all versions that you’ve used recently.
  4. (Optional) Click the time frame at the top right of the page if you need to change it.
If you have questions while you’re upgrading, reach out to us on the forum or at [email protected].
