]]>Deprecated: The method setAuthentication(clientId, signingKey) has been deprecated and is scheduled for sunset in June 2026. This change is because Maps platform client IDs were deprecated on May 26, 2025, and can't be used after May 31, 2026. Instead, use setAuthenticationByKey(apiKey) or setAuthenticationByKey(apiKey, signingKey). To get an API key, refer to the Client ID Migration Guide.
Generally Available: To authenticate to the Maps service, you can now use an API key with the new methods setAuthenticationByKey(apiKey) and setAuthenticationByKey(apiKey, signingKey). To reset authentication to the default mode, use resetAuthenticationApiKey().
Generally Available: The enforceExpansiveAccess query parameter is now deprecated for all methods in the permissions resource (v2 and v3). To restrict item access, use the folders with limited access setting instead.
We have updated the guidance for using Google Meet conferences on Google Calendar events.
Reusing Google Meet codes across different events can cause access issues, and
can expose meeting details to unintended users. We recommend that you generate a
new conference using the createRequest field for every new event.
For more information about using events with the Calendar API, see the documentation for the events resource.
Generally Available: When sending a message with app authentication, Google Chat API now supports mentioning users who haven't joined a Chat space or are members of a space that is in import mode.

]]>Generally available: When sending private messages, Chat apps can now include interactive accessory widgets.
Generally available: We're enhancing membership roles in Chat spaces by introducing a new membership role type. In the Chat UI, existing space managers are now owners and a new manager role is added.
Previously, there were three membership role types in Chat API. MEMBERSHIP_ROLE_UNSPECIFIED, which meant a user wasn't a member but could be invited. ROLE_MEMBER, which meant a user was a member of the space. And ROLE_MANAGER, which meant a user was a space manager.
Now, in the Chat UI, ROLE_MANAGER users are called owners; this is a cosmetic change so permissions and the API enum remain the same. To help space owners administer spaces, we're introducing ROLE_ASSISTANT_MANAGER which is called manager in the UI. Possible membership roles include:
MEMBERSHIP_ROLE_UNSPECIFIED: Default value. For users: they aren't a member of the space, but can be invited. For Google Groups: they're always assigned this role.ROLE_MEMBER: A member of the space. In the Chat UI,
this role is called Member. Members have basic permissions, like reading messages in a space. Managers and Owners can grant them additional permissions, like adding or removing members, editing space details, and turning history on and off.ROLE_ASSISTANT_MANAGER: A space manager. In the
Chat UI, this role is called Manager. By default, managers have permission to make other members managers, delete messages, and change space permissions.ROLE_MANAGER: A space owner. In the Chat UI, this role
is called Owner. Owners have the broadest set of permissions, including permission to make other members owners or delete the space.To learn more, see Update a user's membership in a Google Chat space and MembershipRole in the Chat API reference documentation.
