Google added a Drive shortcut for Workspace users that opens videos directly in Google Vids to enable quicker editing. When previewing a saved video, users see an "Open" button at the top-right that automatically opens the file in Google Vids. Users can make simple edits such as trimming clips, adding text, and adding music. The Vids shortcut is enabled by default and can be disabled by Workspace organization admins. Rollout began on August 21st and may take more than two weeks to reach all users. The feature follows prior Drive video improvements, including a new player and a Gemini AI summarization feature.
Google has added a Drive shortcut for Workspace users that provides a quicker way to edit videos without having to manually open them in Google Vids.
When previewing a video saved in their Drive, users will now see an "Open" button at the top right corner that automatically opens the file in Google Vids, where users can then make simple edits like trimming clips, adding text or music, and more.
The Vids shortcut will be enabled by default and can be disabled by Workspace organization admins.
It started rolling out on August 21st, but could take more than two weeks to appear for everyone. This is the latest of several Drive improvements that Google has added for videos, having introduced a new video player in October last year, and a Gemini AI feature that summarizes Drive videos in May.
