The Hangouts Chat platform supports a wide range of capabilities - from bots to simple scripting using Google App Script - and integrates with third-party applications so teams can do more right from within the conversation. Chat is built not only to reflect the way teams work, but to provide a platform for the enterprise tools they work with. And powerful, filterable search in Chat makes it easy to find all your content dating back to the start of the project. Chat’s deep integration with G Suite means shared content from Drive and Docs, or photos and videos can be viewed directly in conversations. For our G Suite Enterprise customers, each meeting comes with a dedicated dial-in phone number, so team members on the road can feel connected and productive in meetings despite wi-fi or data issues.ĭedicated, virtual rooms create a lasting home for each project, with threaded conversations so your team’s progress is easy to follow.

We've consistently heard from customers about ways we can improve Hangouts, like making it easier to work with external clients or reducing the ‘time to start’ a meeting to zero. Hangouts Meet is a new video meeting experience with one goal: make joining meetings effortless so that people can be as productive as they are when they’re face-to-face.

Last year, we talked about doubling down on our enterprise focus for Hangouts and our commitment to building communication tools focused on the way teams work: from anywhere, at anytime.
