Google’s previous guidance said the option to transition would be available “starting in the first half of 2021.” Hangouts conversations, contacts, and saved history will automatically be migrated. The “welcome” prompt did not appear on several accounts we checked today. It says theres a Google Chat Standalone App but nothing about it is a standalone app, you need the chrome browser to be open because its actually a progressive web application only. Why they cant just do a google chat extension in the vein of the hangouts extension is beyond me. The Google Chat preview for Hangouts users is not yet widely available today. There is no need to go to the URL and open the app every time. Meanwhile, we also expect Google Chat to be available in Gmail as a dedicated tab alongside “Meet.” As such, video call invites generate a link rather than immediately starting a call. However, there are some enterprise-leaning features that consumers will have access to, including the ability to quickly search and insert files from Google Drive and quick Calendar meeting creation.Īmadeo also points out how video calling is wholly reliant on Google Meet. Design-wise, Google Chat is a straightforward messaging app. This beta allows you to reach and find any Hangouts contact that you have saved, though group chatting is not yet available today. Or you can click the three dots and choose Install Google Chat on the official website to open the popup to install this app on your PC. The only missing feature now is group chat. In the address bar, visit and click the Download icon to open a popup. It looks like all my individual contacts work and are accessible via the search bar. My Google Chat is now showing this Hangouts "Preview" message.
