More ways to share your shipping and returns policies with Google

We're excited to announce that we're now expanding the options for merchants to provide shipping and returns information, even if they don't have a Merchant Center account. Merchants can now tell Google about their shipping and returns policies in two distinct ways: by configuring them directly in Search Console or by using new organization-level structured data.

Option for longer meeting notes with “take notes for me” in Google Meet

What’s happening

Meeting participants can now configure the length of their meeting notes when using the "take notes for me" feature in Google Meet. By selecting the "Longer" option from the "Notes Length" menu, you can generate notes that are roughly twice as long as the standard document to help capture all the important details. Turn on longer notes for technical discussions, complex project meetings, or any session where every detail is critical.

Caption: Longer notes can be enabled by selecting “Longer” in Notes Length settings. Alt text: An animation showing the process of selecting the “Longer” option in the Notes Length settings for the “Take notes for me” feature in Google Meet.

Improving secondary calendar management with dedicated owners

What’s happening

To improve data governance, we’re changing how secondary calendar ownership is defined in Google Calendar. A secondary calendar is any calendar that you create or a group calendar that is shared with you. Previously, secondary calendars could only be managed at the organization level. 

Going forward, each secondary calendar will have a single, dedicated owner. When a new secondary calendar is created, the creator becomes the calendar owner. For existing secondary calendars, an owner will be automatically assigned based on the calendar’s permissions. The calendar will inherit the organizational policies from its owner. This provides fine-grained control for admins to define policies for each calendar, such as data regions or assured controls.

Additionally, we’re introducing the ability to transfer secondary calendar ownership to another user in the same organization, through Google Calendar settings (for end users) or the Admin console (for admins). This is especially helpful when a calendar owner changes teams or leaves the organization, to ensure the calendar remains associated with the appropriate owner.

Additional details

The Google Calendar API has been updated to reflect these changes. Developers can retrieve the secondary calendar owner using the API for Calendars and CalendarList. In addition, we’ve added updates to ensure only the secondary calendar owner can delete the calendar, and that their access level cannot be downgraded as long as they are the owner.

Please refer to the API release notes for additional information.

Getting started

  • Admins: This feature will be ON by default and cannot be disabled. To help manage this transition, admins can now transfer the ownership of secondary calendars from one user to another directly in the Admin console.
  • End users: This feature will be ON by default and cannot be disabled. For existing secondary calendars, an owner will be automatically assigned based on the calendar’s permissions. End users who own a secondary calendar can transfer ownership to another user.

New AI-powered audio overviews for PDFs in Google Drive

What’s happening

We’re introducing AI-powered audio overviews for PDFs in Google Drive.

This new Gemini for Google Workspace feature allows your users to instantly convert long, text-heavy PDFs—such as industry reports, contracts, or lengthy meeting transcripts—into a conversational, podcast-style audio summary. With just one click, a new audio file is saved directly to their Drive. This feature is powered by the same underlying technology as NotebookLM’s popular Audio Overview feature.


Add GIF

In today's fast-paced environment, dedicating time to read long documents can be a significant challenge. Audio overviews solve this by allowing users to absorb critical information while they are multitasking. Users can listen to the summaries from anywhere they can access their Drive files, whether they’re commuting, working out, or doing chores.

This feature can help your users:


  • Boost efficiency by allowing users to quickly grasp the main points of a long document in a two- to 10-minute audio summary,
  • Improve accessibility by providing an alternative format for consuming content, and
  • Enhance preparation by making it easier to quickly review materials before meetings or client presentations.
Once the audio overview is generated on a desktop, the user receives an email notification that the file is ready. The audio file is automatically saved to a new "Audio overviews" folder in their Drive, which they can then access from any mobile or desktop device.

Please note: At launch, this feature supports English-language PDFs only.
