Windows 10: New improvements to layouts in Google Meet

Brink · Jun 12, 2020

Quick launch summary

Weâre making some changes in Meet to ensure you can better see who, and what, you need to see in your meetings. We hope that these improvements help remote meetings feel more like in-person meetings.

Tiled view with presentations

We recently announced tiled layout in Meet, where you can see up to 16 other participants in your meeting. Weâre now making improvements to that layout to allow you to see other attendees even when someone is presenting. Presentations appear in a large tile, with the most active participants to the side or bottom.

Saved layout preference

When you choose a new layout, this layout will be automatically saved as your preferred layout. This means it will be automatically applied for your future meetings, until you select a new one.

Additional UI improvements

Weâve made some minor improvements to the meeting UI to better utilize the space on your screen.

Getting started

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.

Spelling and grammar improvements in Google Docs for G Suite

Quick launch summary

Earlier this year we introduced a BETA for new grammar suggestions in Google Docs. Now we’re making this feature available for G Suite Basic, Business, and Enterprise users.

The new features enhance existing spell check functions and highlight possible grammatical errors in your text. We’re also introducing a revamped interface for reviewing spelling and grammar suggestions which makes it faster and easier to spot and correct errors in your text.

Some improvements you’ll see are:

Grammar

Possible grammar corrections will be underlined in blue. To see a suggested correction or dismiss the alert, simply right-click.

You will also see possible grammar errors when running a spelling and grammar check through the Tools menu.

New language review interface

You can easily review all language suggestions for your document with the updated spelling and grammar check tool. Access it through the “Tools” menu or right-click on a suggestion and select “Review more suggestions” — you’ll see each suggestion and actions to correct any errors.

To learn more about how we’re using machine learning to recognize errors and suggest corrections to improve your writing, see here.

Rapid Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on March 5, 2019.
