Since we launched the <a href="https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2023/08/Google-Workspace-Carbon-Footprint-Report.html">Google Workspace Carbon Footprint report</a> at Cloud Next 2023, we have continued our collaboration with Electricity Maps to further help users understand their emissions. Directly within the Admin console, admins can track the carbon footprint and emissions of using Google Workspace, down to specific tools such as Google Meet, Gmail, Google Docs, and more.&nbsp;</p><p>We’ve also added a new admin role for accessing Carbon Footprint reports. Previously, only Workspace admins with reporting privileges had access to the carbon footprint dashboard. However, we know our customers have specialists, such as a dedicated Sustainability team, who rely on this information to inform their work. Now, admins can grant access to the Workspace Carbon Footprint report to select users by <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/2406043">creating a custom role</a>.&nbsp;</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Who’s impacted</h3><p>Admins</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Why it’s important</h3><p>Cloud computing has immense significance for powering global business operations and innovation. But, in a world facing the accelerating impacts of climate change, it is increasingly important to keep an eye on its environmental impact. The dynamic and global nature of cloud computing creates challenges for precisely measuring its emissions and requires granular data that captures the carbon emissions of electricity at every hour in locations around the world. Partnering with Electricity Maps gives our customers a way to monitor their cloud emissions over time by product — giving IT teams and developers the high quality metrics they need to monitor, improve, and reduce their carbon emissions.</p><p>Electricity Maps gathers real-time and historical power generation and power exchange data from multiple sources around the globe, calculating the hourly consumption mix available on the grid and its carbon intensity. Electricity Maps follows a highly granular approach, combined with a <a href="https://www.electricitymaps.com/methodology">transparent and scientific methodology</a> and a strict collective vetting process of their open-source community. This guarantees high-quality and trustworthy data that aligns with Google’s ambition for a realistic and science-backed perspective on climate impact. For maximum transparency, emissions can be viewed on either location-based or market-based <a href="https://www.epa.gov/climateleadership/scope-1-and-scope-2-inventory-guidance">Scope 2 accounting standards</a>. Location-based emissions show the emissions linked to the actual electricity used for the operations, whereas the market-based emissions represent emissions from the purchased electricity, including Google’s annual renewable energy purchases.&nbsp; More information about the methodology behind <a href="https://cloud.google.com/carbon-footprint/docs/methodology">Google’s Workspace and Cloud Carbon Footprints can be found here</a>.&nbsp;</p><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Additional details</h3><div><b>More about Google's sustainability commitments</b></div><div>In 2020, we set a goal to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy—every hour of every day on every grid where we operate—by 2030. We continue to make product and operational improvements to reduce environmental impact and we're sharing technology, methods, and funding to enable organizations around the world to transition to more carbon-free and sustainable systems — see here for <a href="https://sustainability.google/operating-sustainably/net-zero-carbon/">more information about our sustainability commitments</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Google uses the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the global standard for carbon accounting to generate the Workspace Carbon Footprint reports.

Today, we’re excited to share that organizations with Business Starter will officially have access to <a href="https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/7212025">shared drives</a> starting mid-September.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>With this change, Business Starter users will be able to create shared drives and add members, files, and folders. Please note that certain admin-level and security controls—like the ability to <a href="https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/12380484#settings">control access to the items in a shared drive</a>—will not be included in the fundamental version of shared drives for Business Starter.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Who’s impacted&nbsp;</h3><div>Admins and end users&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Why it’s important&nbsp;</h3><div>Part of empowering our customers to do their best work means reducing the friction around file sharing and collaboration. Shared drives are a key tool for collaboration—users can store, search, and access their team's files instantly. Additionally, they offer benefits such as:&nbsp;</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Easy discoverability:</b> Less time spent requesting access to files and searching for relevant documents with all of your team’s files in one place.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Files are forever:</b> All content stays put — even when collaborators or team members leave, your content won’t.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Easy collaboration: </b>Every member of a shared drive can explore and collaborate in the same files. You can also add users outside your team or organization.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Accessible anywhere:</b> Regardless of location or device, you can always access the files you need most. </li></ul></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"> Additional details</h3><div>When shared drives are made available to Business Starter customers, all users will be able to create shared drives by default. If this default behavior is undesired, admins can update their settings before Business Starter users gain access to the feature starting on <b>September 23, 2024</b>. To restrict this, <i>go to the Admin console &gt; Menu &gt; Apps &gt; Google Workspace &gt; Drive and Docs &gt; Sharing settings &gt; Shared drive creation &gt; turn on “Prevent users in [domain] from creating new shared drives.”&nbsp;</i></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Getting started&nbsp;</h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Admins:</b>&nbsp;</li><ul><li>When shared drives are available to Business Starter, admins can use the Admin console to:&nbsp;</li><ul><li>Add and remove members&nbsp;</li><li>Change access level of members&nbsp;</li><li>Restrict moving content externally&nbsp;</li></ul><li>The following features aren't available for shared drives in Business Starter:&nbsp;</li><ul><li>Admins cannot set default settings</li><li>Business Starter users cannot change settings&nbsp;</li></ul><li>Visit the Help Center to learn how to <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/7337469">set up shared drives for your organization</a> and then <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/12374228">allow users to create shared drives</a>.

Google Meet’s picture-in-picture feature helps to solve that problem, but now we’ve made it even easier. Picture-in-picture mode will now automatically trigger when you switch tabs during a meeting. Previously, you had to manually turn on this feature during a meeting. This simple, yet impactful update, will help ensure your meeting stays visible and accessible if you need to switch tabs to take notes, view meeting related documents, and more. Note that picture-in-picture is only available with Google Chrome on a computer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFs8c1C1VfYhf2PpJbXF5yTRI7WRcW3ldy1fYlr2nvXy-PkI9si6pgqdAKDgdanUQfZHf-ntxBW8SITRjHYrJk7naFBuYqCvH8LSBpy3NPQs2uDHQ6ivfK3hT79h_AatR9vgyXEZXt9tv83yIIRO4-yzSN-0mplHCrln6bTcCsv2OcC_9C-SUZnVKZR0s/s1000/Picture-in-picture%20in%20Google%20Meet%20will%20now%20open%20automatically%20when%20switching%20tabs.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Picture-in-picture in Google Meet will now open automatically when switching tabs" border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFs8c1C1VfYhf2PpJbXF5yTRI7WRcW3ldy1fYlr2nvXy-PkI9si6pgqdAKDgdanUQfZHf-ntxBW8SITRjHYrJk7naFBuYqCvH8LSBpy3NPQs2uDHQ6ivfK3hT79h_AatR9vgyXEZXt9tv83yIIRO4-yzSN-0mplHCrln6bTcCsv2OcC_9C-SUZnVKZR0s/s16000/Picture-in-picture%20in%20Google%20Meet%20will%20now%20open%20automatically%20when%20switching%20tabs.png" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Getting started&nbsp;</h3><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Admins: </b>There is no admin control for this feature.&nbsp;</li><li><b>End users: </b>You can turn this feature off from your Google Chrome settings.
