Travel and in-person meetings are slowly opening up, and Google wants to be ready for when it s safe to conduct business face-to-face. The internet giant has added a Google Maps side panel in Workspace that lets you research locations for Calendar events without opening new browser tabs. You can make sure you re pointing people to the right place, or get travel times to be sure you ll be punctual.
The feature is rolling out over the next two weeks for companies using Workspace, G Suite Basic and G Suite Business with a Rapid Release domain. More cautious companies on the Scheduled Release track will start seeing the feature over the course of 15 days starting on May 3rd. It s a seemingly simple addition, but it could be extremely helpful for the day when remote work is merely optional.

Improved interaction among people is Google s target, specifically for Workspace users. Now, you can create Break Out rooms in Google Meet ahead of time through Google Calendar.
If you are someone who always relies on Meet for your appointments in school, work, and other things, the feature will make your preparations much easier than before.
What are Breakout Rooms?
Breakout rooms, just like in Zoom meetings, are the sessions that are separated from the main meeting window. According to the Google support page, moderators can utilize this Google Meet feature to split the participants into simpler partitions during the meeting.
