June brought significant enhancements to how teams organize knowledge and collaborate in SoWork. We launched a complete overhaul of the AI Meeting Library, released our official Google Drive integration, expanded our Public API, and shipped several productivity tools to keep your daily workflow seamless.

🚀 Key Highlights

• Revamped AI Meeting Library: Enjoy a faster, redesigned layout featuring custom collections, updated permissions, read/unread syncing, and improved browsing across both desktop and mobile devices.

• Google Drive Integration: Now live for all accounts! Connect Google Drive to share, attach, and access workspace documents directly inside your virtual office.

• Custom Video Backgrounds: Paid and trial users can now upload custom 16:9 images to serve as personal video backgrounds across all rooms and meeting sessions.

• Quick Chat Toolbar: Read and send meeting chat messages directly from the bottom toolbar without opening the full chat panel or taking your eyes off the office.

• Public API Expansion: Added endpoints for meeting records, start/end webhooks, chat search, typing indicators, and working-hours data.

📊 Team Management & Analytics

• Onboarding Tracker: Admins can now track team onboarding progress directly within Team Analytics, featuring individual progress cards and sortable member tables.
