What’s changing
Google Vault now supports Calendar, which means customers can take the following actions around Calendar data:
- Manage retention with default and custom rules.
- Search and preview events with a number of filters, such as keyword search across description, title, guests, locations and invite response status which can be used to quickly refine your search.
- Search for historical versions of events, which allows Vault Admins to search and export events as they appeared on a specific date.
- Export data in multiple formats, including ICS, PST (MSFT format) and CSE-decryptable formats.
- Apply holds to prevent purging of data which must be retained for legal purposes.

Until now, raising your hand to ask a question in Google Meet is done by clicking the hand-raise icon. Starting today, you can also raise your physical hand and Meet will recognize it with gesture detection. To ensure the gesture is detected, make sure your camera is enabled and your hand is visible to the camera, away from your face and body. As an active speaker, the gesture detection will not be triggered; when you’re no longer the active speaker, gesture detection will resume.
