We’re introducing a dedicated
Meetings section in Google Chat—a new way to organize your conversation list and keep your
meeting conversations in one place.
Previously, meeting conversations lived in your direct messages, often making it difficult to find specific project discussions or meeting notes.
You can now group all past and future meeting chats into a single, dedicated section in your conversation list. Once a meeting concludes, the meeting conversation (if used) seamlessly moves into this section, providing a persistent home for ongoing follow-ups.
When the feature becomes available, users may see a promotional in-app banner or tooltip highlighting the new Meetings section and inviting them to enable it to better organize their conversation list.

Once created, the new Meetings section appears as a distinct category in the conversation list, located under Direct Messages and Spaces. It acts as a smart folder that automatically aggregates any continuous meeting conversation in one place. This section can be moved, deleted, or reordered at any time.

Key benefits include:
- Organization: Keeps all meeting related conversations in one place.
- Discoverability: Easily find details from a meeting days after the call has ended.
- Control: This is an optional feature. You decide where the section sits in your conversation list, and you can move individual meeting threads to any custom section you’ve created.
Getting started
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
- End users: This feature is off by default and requires user opt-in. To activate this feature, users must go to the three-dot overflow menu found on any section of their conversation list. From the resulting dropdown, they should choose "Create a meeting section" and then click "Create." Once enabled, the section will appear in the conversation list beneath Direct Messages and Spaces, and can be moved or removed at any time. Visit the Help Center to learn more.

We’re releasing a number of enhancements to Workspace audit logs, including:
- Log filtering enhancements for Resource fields in the security investigation tool for Gmail and Google Drive
- Updated Application and Network fields available in the Workspace audit log integration with Google Security Operations (SecOps)
- Expanded filtering in the AdminSDK Activities.List method
- New OwnerDetails field in the events published to the AdminSDK and BigQuery
The security investigation tool now features improved filtering for the Resources attribute for Gmail and Google Drive log events. These updates enable administrators to execute more granular searches, particularly by utilizing
classification labels. Because classification labels offer essential metadata for identifying sensitive content and enforcing security policies, the capability to filter audit logs through these labels is vital for analyzing data patterns and investigating security incidents.
Additionally, we have also added filtering support for the Actor application info attribute for Gmail log events.
Updated Application and Network fields available in the Workspace audit log integration with Google Security Operations (SecOps)
The following fields will now be included in the audit events sent to SecOps, where applicable:
Expanded filtering in the AdminSDK Activities.List method
We’re adding filtering for the following fields in the Activities.List method of the AdminSDK:
- RegionCode: Filter audit logs belonging to specified region using networkInfoFilter field in the api request
- OAuthClientId: Filter audit logs where actions are done by specified app using applicationInfoFilter field in the api request
New OwnerDetails field in the events published to the AdminSDK and BigQuery
A new OwnerDetails field in Resource Details identifies who owns a resource using two primary fields:
- Owner Type: This specifies the category of the owner. The owner of the resource can be an individual person (USER), entire organization (CUSTOMER), or a GROUP. SHARED_DRIVE
- Owner Identity: This contains specific details (like IDs or email addresses) of that owner

We’re introducing an improved time zone picker for Google Calendar on the web. Instead of manually scrolling through the list of options, you can now simply search for and select a specific city or country, making it easier to coordinate and schedule with others in different time zones.
This improvement is available on all Google Calendar surfaces where a time zone can be picked. For example, in meeting scheduling flows, setting a secondary timezone for your main calendar grid view or for configuring the world clock.
Getting started
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
- End users: This feature will be ON by default. Visit the Help Center to learn more.
