It’s official! Great news for all GSuite Legacy Free Edition folks, Google is letting us keep our accounts! The last few months have been an emotional roller coaster, and I think Google owes us some anti stress swag or something because wow was this tough. I am going to make TShirts that say I survived the GSuite Legacy Shutdown and you can all buy them to commemorate the occasion. Google official...

1000 apologies for my audio quality this week. I have been having some issues with my setup and our recording Studio Riverside. They started a couple of weeks ago and have been manifesting as my camera feed cutting out halfway through the video. I have been working daily with their dev team to figure it out, and while we are making progress….. something glitched at the beginning of the episode and...

I had a great time at the Google Events in LA and Irvine, the LA office is in the old Spruce Goose hanger, the former home to Howard Hughes wooden aircraft that was an engineering marvel, except for the part where it only flew once. It was 6 times larger than any aircraft built at the time in 1947 with a hanger just as large. They literally built a building inside the hanger, incorporating all the...

As we get closer to the cutoff for the GSuite Legacy shutdown, we feel it is time to unite our voices behind a single hashtag and amplify our message so that all the right people at Google get to hear it. With that in mind, we have coined the hashtag #familyworkspace and invite everyone to use it in your tweets and posts about the topic. Feel free to tag @Googleworkspace as well! Silent Releases J...

Once again, apologies for my feed halfway through the show, we seem to be having issues with our online studio. I am currently looking into replacing them.  Only 2 updates for you this week even though there were a number of things scheduled for release, guess they were not ready for prime time yet. Published Releases New Emoji reactions in Google Docs on web Additional improvements for Googl...

Apologies for my feed about 20 minutes into the show, our recording environment suffered an issue that caused the rest of my feed to be lost. Luckily I was able to resurrect it from a Live Feed Recording, but the quality is slightly degraded, especially on the video. UPDATE on GSuite Legacy Free Edition! Google has issued an update stating there will be a new no cost version, but it will be single...

Finally the feature Google has been holding out on us for a long time, is finally being released! You can now create an appointment booking page for your calendar natively without needing any third-party tools. There are still a few features that Calendly has over Google's version, of course, that being said, this is a MUCH more feature-rich release than we expected. Thank you Google! Published Re...

Google came out of the gate swinging this week with a whole bunch of announcements. Interestingly, only 4 of them made it on the official Workspace Updates blog, and the rest were through other blog posts and news releases. I tried something new with the sound this week, so let me know if this improves your listening experience. :-) Here are this week's updates: Published Releases Search chips in...

Is our audio quieter for you than it was last year? Seems there is an issue on Google Podcasts at least that the audio is showing up quieter than last season, shoutout to Ian North for bringing that to our attention. We are going to work on getting that fixed for everyone.  No updates yet from Google regarding the sunsetting of the G Suite Legacy Free plan, but we are staying on top of it and...

Google rollout begins today and will give people the option to opt...

Google Workspace has made the decision to stop offering G Suite Legacy Free to the grandfathered in users who have been using it for many years now. This was likely an attempt by Google to recoup the lost money from businesses getting away with not paying for a decade, and bring them on to the updated Google Workspace paid plans. What they did not anticipate, was angering their most loyal customer...

Join us as we discuss with Workspace experts the impact of this decision, Google's response and general surprise at the backlash, as well as a possible new offering for a Google Workspace Family Plan, and downgrade options.  Google will not be able to join us on this show, but they are answ...

Welcome to the penultimate episode of 2021 as we head into the new year and get ready to add video to this and our other tabGeeks shows. Don't worry, if you prefer audio, we will still be pushing the audio as podcasts, and the video will be of us recording the podcast, not converting it into a video show that also dumps the audio track into a podcast.  If you listen to us on Spotify, they jus...
