The Open Broadcast Guided Study Group Collection

This collection will be the main source for overall information concerning the study group, events, and updates. It will not act as a venue for questions about the coursework or general questions about OBS as other avenues have been provided for those actions.

Questions/comments concerning any weekly coursework should be left as a comment on the individual YouTube video dealing with that particular week. This will keep all material about any particular week all in one place for those who may be viewing the course later.

Each weekly LIVE Q&A will be recorded and a link to the recording put in the description of that week's coursework.

General questions about OBS should be posted in the appropriate category in the User2User-LIVE! community
( https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/101944073205735325459 )

SUMMARY
To get the most out of the OBS Guided Study Group the following three actions are recommended:

1) Subscribe to my YouTube Channel:

2) Subscribe to the User2User-LIVE! community:

Google Assistant coming to Android phones running Lollipop and tablets running Marshmallow

The Google Assistant on Android 5.0 Lollipop has started to roll out in to users with the language set to English in the U.S., UK, India, Australia, Canada and Singapore, as well as in Spanish in the U.S., Mexico and Spain. It’s also rolling out to users in Italy, Japan, Germany, Brazil and Korea. Once you get the update and opt-in, you’ll see an Assistant app icon in your “All apps” list.

It's also coming to tablets running Android 7.0 Nougat and 6.0 Marshmallow.

Bulk moderation of community posts

Just in case you were in the mood for yet another update this week, over the next several days we'll be rolling out a feature for communities that allow moderators to bulk select posts for moderation in the Likely Spam and Held for Review queues.

Moderators can initiate the feature by clicking on Select Posts in the upper left of the queue. This will enable a multiple-select checkbox interface with an accompanying Select All option to apply ban/approve/reject moderation actions in bulk.

Delete, report, block

Hello folks, a third update this week. By popular demand, we'll be rolling out a feature over the next few days that will allow you to perform a delete, report, and block action on comments on your posts.

This is similar to the remove, report, and ban action we launched a while ago for community moderators:
https://plus.google.com/+LeoDeegan/posts/3NGFAhREovQ
https://plus.google.com/+LeoDeegan/posts/WjcFN66eRgg

The launch today, however, is to provide you an equivalent action on your own posts.

To invoke this feature, select "Delete, report, and block" from a comment. You can optionally select "Also delete recent comments by this user" if you want to additionally remove recent comments from the user on your posts.

Incidentally, this image is for illustrative purposes. I am not actually planning on blocking Greg Wolfe, who is a valuable member of our team (and also the lead for this feature).

Andrew Hatchett​ rescheduling again. Time moves too quickly! Dec. 27 if you can.

Google is making more small changes in Google Docs and Slides!

Per Google:

We’re making some changes to the menus and toolbars in Google Docs and Slides on the web. These changes will make it easier to find certain items and increase consistency across Docs and Slides. Among other things, you’ll notice the following:

In Docs and Slides, “Lists” in the Format menu has been renamed “Bullets and numbering.”

In Docs and Slides, “Show spelling suggestions” has been renamed “Spelling” and moved from the View menu to the Tools menu.

In Docs, “Document outline” has been renamed “Show document outline” and moved from the Tools menu to the View menu.

In Slides, “Import slides” has been removed from the Insert menu.


You can see some examples in the Google Blog post below.

Community Insights dashboard

Hello folks, over the next several days, we'll be rolling out a new dashboard for community moderators that provides informative metrics for their communities.

Moderators will notice a new community "Manage" button (previously "Moderate"). The Insights dashboard appears as the first tab and includes helpful membership and engagement metrics.

You can read more from our G Suite blog post here, which also describes a community report for G Suite admins:

Advanced search operators

Over the next few days, we'll be rolling out advanced search operators to the Google+ search box to assist you in refining your Google+ search queries. For example, I typed from:"Ina Gat" has:photo commenter:me into the search box and rediscovered this nice bokeh shot from Ina Gat.

You can search for posts that have particular attachments (like has:poll), posts where you were mentioned (like mention:me), posts before or after a date (like before:2016-04-01), posts in communities or collections, and more! You can even use operators like AND, NOT, and OR.

In early January 2018, we will simplify Drive navigation by removing the Google Photos tab. You can continue to access your photos and videos in Drive by creating a Google Photos folder in My Drive.
