Google Classroom has introduced a new feature called Gemini that allows users to generate podcast-style audio lessons. Administrators can control access to this feature based on age, ensuring that only users who are 18 and older in their organization can create content. Admins need to adjust settings in the Admin console to enable or disable Gemini for their users. Schools or institutions should familiarize themselves with the Help Center for guidance on managing access. For teachers, the process is straightforward. They can find the Gemini tab in Google Classroom's navigation bar. However, there's a critical reminder that generated audio content should always be reviewed. AI outputs can contain errors, so educators must refine the content to align with their specific context and local policies before sharing it with students. The launch of this feature began on January 6, 2026, with a rollout expected to take 1 to 3 days for full visibility. Gemini is available for Google Workspace Education Fundamentals, Standard, and Plus editions.
