Until recently, if a YouTube creator wanted to correct an error or update information on an already published video, the options were pretty limited. The cleanest way to fix an error on a video is to edit and re-upload the video, but that would result in losing all the engagement metrics and comments that the […]

Integration between ChromeOS Gallery app and Google Photos is progressing nicely
Last week, we reported on some new developments with the ChromeOS Gallery app, which is getting a nifty new feature to make it easier to edit images. The feature involves a new button inside of the Gallery app that appears when in markup mode and allows you to export the image into the Android version […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Meet will now filter out echos from your video calls
Google Meet introduced noise cancellation exactly a year ago to many Google Workspace customers to use on their desktops or laptops. It helped in situations where background noise was an issue: particularly when working remotely. Shortly after, Google expanded noise cancellation to work on Meet hardware devices, so users in corporate settings could take advantage […]
Continue ReadingChrome History Journeys begin appearing in the unified Side Panel
We’ve been covering everything that’s been going on with Chrome’s new Side Panel since it launched, and there is no shortage of things that Google is trying to pack into the right side of your browser. It all started with a new way to access your bookmarks and quickly spun into a place for Reading […]
Continue ReadingThe Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is USI 2.0: why that’s a good and a bad thing
In our early testing of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3, we noticed our review unit didn’t seem to be playing nice with our array of USI pens. At first, I wondered if we had a bad unit, but after a few emails it became clear that something a bit more complex was going on. The […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Calendar email invites get improved layout
Google announced today that its Calendar email invites are getting an improved layout, making event details more accessible and useful. The top header that details the date and time of the meeting, plus the agenda to the right, remains pretty much untouched. However, where you will see the difference is in the description. The description […]
Continue ReadingPixel users can now easily turn their flashlight off with one tap
Normally, enabling your phone’s flashlight consists of swiping down from the top notification shade to reveal the quick settings and then tapping the “Flashlight” icon. To turn it off, you have to go and do the same thing. In recent memory, Google has added more efficient ways of doing this like shaking the phone or […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Fit has a new logo
Google has big plans for Google Fit and how it “fits” into Fitbit’s future. Wow, that’s a mouthful, but it’s true. Even with Fitbit becoming the central focus of the company’s health and wellness efforts ever since its acquisition, the original step tracking, calorie counting app is going nowhere according to Fitbit’s co-founder, James Park. […]
Continue ReadingYou will soon be able to stream your Xbox Game Pass games directly on 2022 Samsung Smart TVs
In addition to the Xbox game streaming device that’s coming to market within the next six months – something we reported on earlier this week – Microsoft will soon let 2022 Samsung TV owners stream their Game Pass games directly through their televisions without the need for a game console! Announced on Twitter and on […]
Continue ReadingChromeOS will soon have two-thirds and one-third window snapping
Before the release of Windows 11, ChromeOS had, in my opinion, the best – yet simple – approach to native window management. I preferred it to Windows 10’s split screens and MacOS’ split view, which forced window pairings into full-screen mode. However, all of that changed when Windows 11 introduced Snap Layouts, giving the user […]
Continue ReadingChromecast with Google TV’s “Proactive” screensaver rolls out more widely
In what may be the longest rollout in the history of Google releases, the long-awaited ambient mode screensaver for Google TV that features “proactive personal results” is starting to see a wider rollout and an official announcement on Twitter, as well as a mention on the Google TV Help page. As spotted by 9to5Google yesterday, […]
Continue ReadingAndroid 13 Beta 3 and 3.1 released just two days apart
On Wednesday, Google announced the release of Android 13 Beta 3 for Pixel phones, marking the Platform Stability milestone for Android 13 in general. Simply said, the release had already reached a point where Developers needed to start all the final compatibility testing for their apps and prepare to release their compatible versions soon. This […]
Continue ReadingYouTube Music giving away a free year to those who have been subscribed since the beginning
You’re a real one if you’ve been subscribed to YouTube Music since the beginning. In fact, if you’ve been around that long without any interruption to your subscription, you may end up receiving a free 12 months of service directly from Google as a thank you! One user who goes by the name of Mental-prison […]
Continue ReadingYou can now cloud stream Resident Evil Village on Capcom’s website thanks to Google Stadia
“Immersive Stream for Games” – Google’s white-label version of its cloud streaming tech that literally runs Stadia is now in full swing powering third-party website experiences. Last year, it leaked out that Google was putting way more time toward it than the consumer-facing Stadia platform, and that made a lot of people mad. It all […]
Continue ReadingChrome’s new machine learning algorithm is 2.5 times better at detecting phishing attempts
You already know that Google uses machine learning algorithms to filter spam out of Gmail, to make Google Maps capable of the high level of accuracy it maintains, and more, but did you know that it’s also now being used to detect whether or not a website’s notification prompts are being abused? If you read […]
