Vids is an AI-powered video creation app for work designed to help teams in customer service, learning and development, project ops and marketing tell more engaging stories at work through video. </div><div><br /></div><div>Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Google Vids for select Workspace editions. Here’s how you can use it:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Customer service teams are using Vids to provide better customer support, supplementing help center articles with videos. </li><li>Leaders are creating vids to share company-wide updates and announcements. </li><li>Learning and development teams are using Vids to deliver employee training and education at scale. </li><li>Marketers are using vids inside their organizations to share recaps on their campaigns and events. </li><li>Project management teams are building vids to share meeting recaps, business updates and report share outs. </li></ul>With Vids, you can easily build videos by tapping into the power of Gemini to help you get to a first draft faster using a set of generative AI capabilities. ‘<a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15067819">Help me create</a>’ can generate a fully editable initial storyboard using a prompt and a doc from your Google Drive.

Vids is an AI-powered video creation app for work designed to help teams in customer service, learning and development, project ops and marketing tell more engaging stories at work through video. </div><div><br /></div><div>Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Google Vids for select Workspace editions. Here’s how you can use it:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Customer service teams are using Vids to provide better customer support, supplementing help center articles with videos. </li><li>Leaders are creating vids to share company-wide updates and announcements. </li><li>Learning and development teams are using Vids to deliver employee training and education at scale. </li><li>Marketers are using vids inside their organizations to share recaps on their campaigns and events. </li><li>Project management teams are building vids to share meeting recaps, business updates and report share outs. </li></ul>With Vids, you can easily build videos by tapping into the power of Gemini to help you get to a first draft faster using a set of generative AI capabilities. ‘<a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15067819">Help me create</a>’ can generate a fully editable initial storyboard using a prompt and a doc from your Google Drive. After choosing a style, Gemini pieces together your video draft with suggested scenes, including recommended stock media, text, scripts per scene, and even a background music track. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">                   <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="498" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tJ89cwcW5uM" width="600" youtube-src-id="tJ89cwcW5uM"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>You can also start with a variety of use-cased based <a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15082957">templates</a> to create a new video. From there, you can add motion with animations, transitions, and photo effects, and customize your video using the <a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15001094">Vids royalty free stock content library</a> or your own <a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/14917464">media directly from Google Drive or Google Photos</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>With ‘Help me create’, Gemini suggests scripts to get you started or you can write your own. You can easily add <a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/15067217?sjid=16528034210924596463-NC">a voiceover</a> by either choosing from one of Gemini’s preset AI voices or by recording your own voice using a teleprompter with Gemini read-along and rolling features that help you record your message with confidence.

To minimize data exfiltration and better understand the data being shared, organizations need to differentiate between various types of information and their sensitivity levels to apply data protection policies accordingly. By expanding data classification labels to Gmail, Google Workspace provides admins with a more flexible and robust system integrated with data protection capabilities to help organizations effectively categorize and protect sensitive information. </p><p>Specifically,<b> admins</b> can create:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>New classification labels or extend existing ones enabled in Drive labels for Gmail from the <a href="https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2024/07/label-administration-in-admin-console.html">Label Manager</a>.
