YouTube for TV can now connect to your phone for more interactions
YouTube Blog
Nowadays many people enjoy watching YouTube videos on their large screen TV, the whole experience is great but it is hard to interact with just a single TV, so YouTube had think of connecting your phone to the TV to enable all these stuff.
When you have your TV and phone signed in to the same account, opening the mobile app will show you a prompt and let you connect to the TV. After tapping on it, the TV display will show you are connected and now you will be able to read denoscriptions, read & leave comments, share the video and more.
At the same time, YouTube is experimenting with new design for the video watch page. Soon it will also be possible to shop for products that are featured in the video too. Basically, it's a smart remote control which you can make the most out of your YouTube experience.

#Maps
Google Maps can now tell Air Quality Index in U.S.
Google Blog
Google Maps is not just an ordinary map, as it is smart enough to tell you whether there is wildfire happening, COVID-19 status of a country, and now it can tell air quality of a place too.
Health is important and we definitely want to avoid places that are heavily polluted, so now it is possible to easily know whether it's good to have outdoor activities at that particular region or not. You can enable it by tapping Layers (top-right) > Air quality. These data are provided by Environmental Protection Agency (AirNow) and PurpleAir. You can check more details of a specific site by tapping on the dot or bubble.
This feature is currently only available in U.S. regions, but hopefully Google could extend it and make it globally available one day. It is also live on the mobile apps for now. Besides, searching on Google about widfire or air quality of an area will now show you associated air quality information.

In addition, admins can sync the student information system (S1S) directly to Classroom, everything will get organised and it will be a one-click away for teachers to accept when their course is created, and will be made available in 15 more countries.
Lastly, teachers and students will soon be able to reply to classroom or private comments directly from the email itself.

#Contacts
Google Contacts redesigned contact page is rolling out to more people
I don't know if anyone uses Contacts to their full potential or not, but anyway the new look of Google Contacts seems to be widely rolling out I guess. You can check it out yourself and see whether you got it or not.
The edit contact option was previously a FAB, but the new design has moved the option over to the top. Functionality wise nothing has changed, just some slight changes to the design, and that's pretty much it.
And well, I have some fun facts to share when writing this:
• Sundar Pichai's birthday is on June 10 (which is tomorrow at the time of posting)
• If the email address you added has a profile picture, that will be automatically added to the contacts page itself.

Soon over at livestream, users will be able to participate in Q&A and polls. Furthermore, Meet will be able to auto-transcribe calls into a Google Doc, this way you get to save more account storage. Schools can also stream Meet calls over to YouTube for large events. These three features are only available if the account is part of Google Workspace for Education Plus and the Teaching & Learning Upgrade.
There are also some improvements for accessibility features, like individualized accessibility preferences and alt-text in Gmail.
