Happy Friday!

This week we have two tidbits to share with you. First, Google updated Slides to now allow you to import Videos from your Google Drive. This greatly expands the possibilities for adding videos and audio to your Google Slides presentations.


Here is a screenshot of the new options for playing videos, including an option to mute audio.

Google also recently introduced a new feature in Google Drive, called Team Drive. Team Drive allows you to share files with a team of users. One benefit of Team Drive is that if one team member leaves, the remaining members still have access to the files on the Team Drive. The main drawback to using Team Drive is that you cannot have files in both your personal Drive and the Team Drive. Team Drive is a brand new feature to stay tuned for more updates about its possible uses.
