Blocking spam in Google Drive

This week's video was actually inspired by a spam file that was shared to me the other day in Google Drive, and I thought I would create a video about how I dealt with it. If you ever received files from a random stranger in Google Drive, this video walks you through exactly what you need to do to block a share:

Google Meet's new superpower

Google Meet window with Picture-in-picture feature enabled: two small video images are in the bottom right corner

Since the beginning of the pandemic Zoom has been ruling the video conferencing world, but did you know that your Google Workspace subscription includes a video conferencing tool at no extra cost? Yes, Google Meet has been the quiet workhorse for me and many small and large organizations throughout the last couple of years.


While Google Meet started out with fewer bells and whistles than its famous counterpart, it recently received many new features and its latest superpower is one I have been really looking forward to. It's called Picture-in-picture.


  • Picture-in-picture allows you to see your audience while presenting a window or a tab.


  • And as a bonus, when you are not presenting, it also allows you to see the meeting participants even if you need to click away from the meeting window. Not that you would ever want to multitask in a meeting, right? ;)



💎 Watch the video to see how to enable the Picture-in-picture feature.


❓ Have you tried it? Much easier than before, right?

Where, oh where has my Meet window gone?

Sometimes your Google Meet can go missing among all the other Chrome tabs and windows you might have open, and it can be hard to find it when you want to go back to your meeting window. In this week's video, I will show you a super quick tip for how to locate your ongoing meeting.

💎 Bonus tip: This same location will show you other actively playing audio or video as well. So, for example, when you realize in a call that one of your tabs is playing music or talking at you, you can use this method to find it quickly.


💎 Watch the video to see the details.
