Google to Integrate Chat into Gmail Apps#
Rooms#
‘Chat’ is for one-to-one conversations and ‘Rooms’ is said to be for group collaborations. Both consumer and enterprise accounts are coming with their own introductory prompts ( that if the user wants to use a consumer account or an enterprise account). The latest report is suggesting that this integration will be available for all Gmail app users. But it does not state a timeline for Chat integration.
For ongoing conversations and quick replies, chat with your contacts
For quick replies, connect with anyone you work with over chat
Bring together who matters and stay organized with mark unread, shared files, and more
Keep projects organized and on track with shared chat, files, and tasks
Furthermore, “what’s new in Gmail” directly advertises how “There are more ways for you to connect and collaborate without switching apps.” Which is suggesting that users can operate multiple Gmail products from one platform.
The consumer strings in the above code suggest that, sooner or later, Google will bring a free version of Chat to free accounts. The latest report also shows strings of code for Meet in the Gmail app for Android.
