Is it crazy to want a playlist of all the office hours videos? It would make life soooo much easier.

I like the new format very much. It's to the point and packed with SEO tips. Thank you!

Any update on a fix for the Search Console erroneous Mobile Usability page reports still happening in late 2022?!?

This feel very much like Search Off the Record, but it shouldn't. Office Hours are just Q and A and it would be helpful to have the question on the screen while you answer it. If the answer gets long I have a better change of forgetting the question, which isn't very helpful. I don't mind the lack of video.

I am running an educational site having all high-quality content written by myself. Still, we had 1/2 content that was somehow created on copied idea from other sites by our staffs. (We didn't allow Google to crawl that).

Even though we are having all quality article and only unique contents indexed, the rank of our site has drastically dropped since a week. Pages which were having all great contents and was ranking at #1 has been placed at <5/6 rank all of a sudden. Is it because of the new update? What to do now?

Will Google webstories plays very important role in future? In Google search engine or it's temporary?

I run a music website but it's illegal.
May am from Uttar Pradesh, India. My audience target is Uttar Pradesh and Bihar which is the state of India.
All the music I upload is remixed by our local remixer. Which is played here at DJ.
My traffic is only 200 left from 10k since last broad core update. Doesn't Local Search Matter for Google ? May I Work on Keywords That Appear in Google Recommendation

Not a fan of this new format. Bring back the Matt Cutts-style whiteboard chats!
