Quick summary 
In April, we announced a beta that allows users to respond to external forms that contain file upload questions, while also helping to prevent the leak of sensitive and confidential information. 

This feature is now generally available and will apply your domain’s existing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Drive policies to files that your users submit to Google Forms, without creating new rules or updating any existing ones. 

dlp-file-uploads-to-external-forms

Getting started 
  • Admins: 
    • DLP for Drive rules defined for your domain will be applied to files submitted to file upload questions in Google Forms outside your domain. 
    • If you are not using DLP for Drive, you can create DLP rules at the domain, OU, or group level in the Admin console under Security > Data protection. You can apply block, warn or audit actions. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Workspace DLP on for your organization. 
  • End users: 
    • End users can respond to forms as usual, but can now respond to forms outside their domain, including forms that have file upload questions. 
    •  If a form violates DLP for Drive rules for their domain, end users may see warnings or be blocked from submitting.

Quick summary 
We’re bringing picture-in-picture to Google Meet to Chrome browsers on the web. You’ll be able to see up to four video tiles of meeting attendees in a floating window on top of other applications. 




Additionally, you can now pin multiple video feeds. This will provide greater flexibility in how you combine people and content, allowing you to adjust the view in a way that best serves your meeting.

Quick summary 
In addition to a Google Sheets file, admins can now download log event data from the security investigation tool to as a .CSV file. This will allow admins to further analyze data outside of the tool. The export limit for .CSV files is 100,000 rows.




Note: Sharing permissions for exported Sheets files will default to your domain configuration (meaning, if newly created files are shared with everyone, the exported data will be available to everyone).

What’s changing 
Admins can set Google Voice call recording options for any organizational unit or group in their organization. You can choose to automatically record calls–incoming, outgoing, or both–or allow users to manually record their calls. If you turn on automatic call recording, users receive a notification that the feature is on. 


For both options, you can set up an audio notification to be played when recording has started. For on-demand manual recording, you can also set up a notification for when recording has stopped. 


Admins can access any call recordings from Google Vault. Users can access their own recordings from their Voice call logs. 




Who’s impacted 
Admins and end users 


Why it’s important 
For admins, recording calls is a key component of policy management and compliance. Recording calls with customers ensures that a proper track record exists for each customer interaction. For business processes that require a customer record before processing customer requests, creating and confirming a call recording allows the request to take place. 


For users, recording calls for later reference provides an alternative to note-taking and allows for sharing within the organization. 

Getting started 

  • Admins: The option to automatically record calls will be OFF by default. The option to allow users to record their calls will be ON by default, with a notification at the start and end of call recording. Both options can be changed at the organizational unit or group level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about controlling recorded calls in Voice. 



Customize call recording options in the Google Voice settings

  • End users: There is no end user setting to turn call recording on or off. If automatic recording is enabled by your administrator, an Auto Rec notification appears on your Voice call screen.


Users see “Auto Rec” if automatic recording is turned on



If on-demand recording is enabled by your administrator, a Record button appears and is active on your Voice call screen. 

If on-demand recording is turned on, users can record their calls using the Record button



Rollout pace 
  • Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: 
    • For the Admin console setting: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on June 14, 2022. 
    • If enabled, recording of calls, both automatic and on-demand, will begin on or around July 11, 2022. 

Availability 
  • Automatic voice recording is available to all Google Voice Premier customers 
  • On-demand voice recording is available to all Google Voice Premier and Standard customers

What’s changing 
You can now use VirusTotal to view deeper insights on Chrome log events in the Security Investigation Tool. This ability is already available for Gmail event logs. 



Who’s impacted 
Admins 


Why it’s important 
Admins can use the VirusTotal integration to view more information on Chrome log events, specifically to determine whether any content transfers via Chrome are malicious. 


Additional details 
VirusTotal provides an investigation layer on top of alerts but isn’t being used directly for detection or alerting. 


Data (file attachment hashes) is only shared to VirusTotal after the admin selects to view the VirusTotal report. No data is otherwise shared. 


VirusTotal data is shared with the broader security community. This enables security vendors to collaborate with each other, share important details, and take action to fight security threats. 


The VirusTotal report has two versions: Standard and Enhanced. The Standard version is displayed for admins who have the Security Center > VirusTotal > View report privilege, and who have one of the required Google Workspace editions. The Enhanced version is automatically displayed for paid VirusTotal subscribers who have an active virustotal.com login session with their VT Enterprise user account. Visit the Help Center for more information.
