Hello ${user},
We’re excited to announce Google Chat, a new way to communicate with team members individually or as a group.
Google Chat is an upgrade to classic Hangouts, built from the ground up for business and schools. Here are some highlights of what Chat can do:
- Allow teams and groups to quickly communicate using any device from anywhere.
- Hold multiple conversations with different teams at the same time.
- Invite additional people to join conversations.
- Easily share your work directly in the conversation thread.
You can switch devices and pick up the conversation on the go. For example, you can start a conversation on your computer, and continue it on your mobile phone, right where you left off.
How do you get started?
Google Chat is already enabled. To get started:
- Download and open the mobile app, or go to chat.google.com in a web browser on your computer. You can also use Chat from within Gmail. Learn how to turn off Chat in Gmail.
- Sign in with a Google Workspace account, such as the Gmail account that you use for your organization.
For more information, see the Google Chat Help Center.
