Google Docs now lets you insert images in front of or behind text May 25, 2021 04:26 EDT with 5 comments
Google Docs (along with Sheets and Slides) has come a long way in terms of providing an alternative to Microsoft Word in the productivity space. Google s productivity suite even added support for editing Microsoft Office files on mobile last year without requiring you to convert these documents into a format that s compatible with Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Those are some of the more basic capabilities, however, and Google s web apps have not always been on par with their Microsoft counterparts when it comes to the more advanced features. One example is the ability to insert images in front of or behind text, something that Word has had for decades. That s changing today, though, with a new update that Google is rolling out to Docs.
Video calling apps have seen plenty of use since the COVID-19 pandemic began as so many of us are spending more time at home working and otherwise. To keep up with demand, Google gave every Google account holder access to Google Meet for their video calls. In other words, Meet isn t just included in paid G Suite plans anyone with a Gmail address can use it, though free account holders are now limited to 60-minute calls.
With so many schools, businesses, and groups of friends using Google Meet, it s worth taking a few minutes to learn how to get the most out of the app.
Google Chat now suggests conversations based on your appointments
When you re running from one meeting to another without a break in between, there s often a chance you re going to be a few minutes behind, whether it s because you need more time to finish a discussion or to take a technical break. Common courtesy is to let people know you re going to be late, but this should be as easy as possible, especially when you re already short on time. Thankfully, Google Workspace just rolled out a new feature that makes it very convenient to chat with people with whom you re about to meet.

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.
