The Latest UC News on Trump Tariffs, Google Next, Canva Create and Microsoft's Copilot

Google Next, Canva and Microsoft Copilot could reshape collaboration, while Trump tariffs threaten UC pricing, supply chains and Logitech

Watch on YouTube.

In this episode of The Big UC News Show on UC Today, host David Dungay and co-host Kieran Devlin bring together an all-star panel of experts: Zeus Kerravala, Irwin Lazar, Melody Brue, Evan Kirstel, and Craig Durr. They break down the biggest developments in UC and collaboration—from Google’s jaw-dropping AI showcase from Google Next and Canva’s surprising push into productivity, to Microsoft Copilot’s evolution and the massive impact of U.S. tech tariffs. If you're in the UC space or simply trying to keep up with where work tech is headed, this is the must-watch conversation.

Our expert panel shares sharp insights, strong opinions, and some healthy skepticism on:

Google’s AI Overdrive

From turning the Wizard of Oz into a Sphere-worthy immersive experience to embedding Gemini into chat, Docs, and Sheets—Google's enterprise AI play is bold, but will it stick?

Canva’s Quiet Disruption

With new AI tools like MagicCharts and Canva Code, the design platform is now elbowing its way into the productivity suite arms race—complete with integrations into Teams and Slack.

Microsoft Copilot’s Vision

Screen-reading, task-completing, memory-enabled Copilot is here. Useful or creepy? Our panel weighs in on its bold new direction.

Tariff Turbulence

Logitech pulls back guidance, and vendors brace for pricing chaos as 100–150% tariffs loom. Will innovation and supply chains survive the hit?

Plus, hear about Enterprise Connect’s big move to Vegas, whether it’s still got its mojo, and which show is stealing its thunder.
