              Once again, apologies for my feed halfway through the show, we seem to be having issues with our online studio. I am currently looking into replacing them. 

              Only 2 updates for you this week even though there were a number of things scheduled for release, guess they were not ready for prime time yet.

                    • S2E14: Markdown enabled on Docs! Improved announcements for Braille Comments on Docs, Assistive writing in docs, Client Side encryption is now GA in Drive and Editors, Update To GSuite Legacy Free!

                      Apologies for my feed about 20 minutes into the show, our recording environment suffered an issue that caused the rest of my feed to be lost. Luckily I was able to resurrect it from a Live Feed Recording, but the quality is slightly degraded, especially on the video.

                      UPDATE on GSuite Legacy Free Edition! Google has issued an update stating there will be a new no cost version, but it will be single user only and won't include branded email. This is just to be able to maintain your purchased items etc. This is not the update we were hoping for, however there is a bit of good news here. The no cost version is not ready yet, and the way you gain access is to join the waitlist via a banner in the Admin Panel, which will allow you to use GSuite Legacy Free until the no cost version is ready, and then you can upgrade to full Workspace if you want to.
