\t\tGoogle Workspace<\/a><\/p>\n So how does this actually work?<\/p>\n Google Drive now supports<\/a> timestamped comments on videos. While reviewing a video, you\u2019ll get a split button letting you choose between a universal comment and one linked to the exact moment you\u2019re watching.\u00a0<\/p>\n If you drop a timestamped note, it shows up as a little marker sitting on the video\u2019s timeline, so that anyone reviewing the file later can click that marker, jump straight to that second, and see the relevant comment pop up automatically.\u00a0<\/p>\n Basically, this removes the guesswork in dragging the scrubber and trying to figure out where the feedback applies. Everything you\u2019d expect from Workspace comments still works, including replying, resolving, editing, and tagging teammates with an @ mention.<\/p>\n \t\tGoogle Workspace<\/a><\/p>\n Who gets this, and what\u2019s it actually good for?<\/p>\n Timestamped comments are available to every Google Workspace customer<\/a> across Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. Both Workspace Individual subscribers and people with a personal Google account can use it. It\u2019s enabled by default.\u00a0<\/p>\n The catch, however, is that you can only create these timestamped notes on the web. Mobile users on iOS or Android can still view them, but they\u2019re displayed as ordinary file comments instead of timeline markers.\u00a0<\/p>\n In my opinion, the feature replaces the awkward back-and-forth of tracking timecodes in a separate WhatsApp group<\/a> or Slack thread; it\u2019s a quality-of-life improvement for those who rely on Google Drive<\/a> for their daily editing or creation workflow.\u00a0<\/p>\n If I zoom out a little, this fits Google\u2019s broader pattern of quietly bridging feature gaps against dedicated review tools like Frame.io and Vimeo. For those catching up, these platforms have offered timestamped video feedback for quite some time now.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the years, I\u2019ve collaborated with many video editors and content creator friends of mine, often pointing out…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[245544,72372,139238,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-558629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-audio-video","tag-google-drive","tag-google-workspace","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Google-Workspace-apps-scaled.jpg\")
