Google Workspace Changes

Google Meet is now integrated into Gmail, allowing users to start or join meetings directly from their inbox.

Google Meet is now available within Gmail on the web, enabling users to start or join video meetings without leaving their inbox. Users can start a new meeting to generate a secure URL or join an existing one using a meeting code or nickname. This integration aims to streamline the transition between email and video communication for G Suite customers.

TLS and certificate validation are now enabled by default for new mail routes, with a new testing tool for admins.

Google has enabled Transport Layer Security (TLS) and certificate validation by default for all new SMTP mail routes in Gmail to enhance email security. To support this change, a new 'Test TLS Connection' feature has been added to the Admin console, allowing administrators to verify that a mail route can successfully establish a secure connection with a destination server before enforcing TLS, eliminating the need to wait for messages to bounce to confirm configuration.
