Google has added a Drive shortcut for Workspace users, providing a faster way to edit videos without having to manually open them in Google Vids. When viewing a video saved in Drive, users will now see an “Open” button in the top right corner, which automatically opens the file in Google Vids, where users can make simple edits like cropping 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 it could take more than two weeks for everyone to see it.
It’s the latest in a series of improvements Google has made to Drive for videos: last October, they introduced a new video player, and in May, they introduced Gemini, an artificial intelligence feature that summarizes videos in Drive.
