Gemini products will be off by default for K-12 student accounts until an administrator enables them
Google announced that access to Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom, and Google Search will be off by default for K-12 student accounts. These products will not be available to student accounts unless a school administrator explicitly enables them; rollout details will be shared in the coming months.
Usage details
Who can use it: K-12 student accounts and school administrators; the effective date has not yet been finalized.
How to use it: When the rollout begins, school administrators must explicitly enable each AI product in the admin controls; Google has not yet published the exact menu path or implementation date.
Tip: Schools should prepare product-specific permission policies and inform teachers now so classroom workflows are not disrupted during the transition to the default-off model.

Custom pre-meeting policy notice for Gemini in Google Meet
Administrators can set a short policy message and optional URL to display on the Green Room screen before participants join a meeting. They can choose to show the notice in every meeting or only when recording, transcription, or Gemini notes are enabled.
Usage details
Who can use it: Business Standard and Plus; Enterprise Standard and Plus; Education Fundamentals, Standard, and Plus; Frontline Plus; Google AI Pro for Education. The expanded rollout began on 2026-11-02.
How to use it: In the Admin console, enable the feature under Meet Safety Settings for the relevant OU; configure the Green Room message, URL, and display conditions.
Tip: Keep the policy message short and link to a detailed organization page; showing the notice only when Gemini notes or recording is enabled can reduce clutter on the join screen.

Guided Learning becomes globally available in Google Classroom
Guided Learning is now globally available in Google Classroom. A teacher-assigned activity works like a one-on-one study tool linked to class materials and gives teachers real-time insights into the topics where the class needs support.
Usage details
Who can use it: Global availability in Google Classroom; rollout and school administrator controls may vary by organization.
How to use it: A teacher assigns a Guided Learning activity in Google Classroom; the student opens the assigned activity to start the step-by-step study flow.
Tip: Link the activity to class materials; this helps Guided Learning guide students through the steps of thinking in the context of the lesson rather than simply giving them the answer.

Guided Learning begins piloting in Google Search for student accounts
Google is adding Guided Learning capabilities to Search for student accounts. When the system detects homework-like queries, it will guide students with questions and step-by-step prompts instead of jumping straight to the result; the pilot is planned to begin at select U.S. schools during the month.
Usage details
Who can use it: Select U.S. schools and student accounts during November 2026; not generally available.
How to use it: Submit a homework- or problem-type query using a participating school account; Search will show Guided Learning steps for eligible queries. There is no setting to enable it for general users yet.
Tip: Describe the question and what you are trying to understand in detail; complete each step of the guided flow rather than asking only for the final answer.

Gemini CLI no longer treats interrupted Whisper downloads as installed
The 2026-11-03 nightly release fixes an issue that incorrectly treated interrupted Whisper model downloads as installed. This prevents a corrupted or incomplete download from being skipped as if it had completed successfully.

How to use it: Update Gemini CLI nightly to v0.67.0-nightly.20261103.g0ac57c029 or later, then restart the interrupted Whisper download.
Tip: After network interruptions, keep the nightly release up to date and check that the model is actually available before the first call.
