Google Chat

About Google Chat
Google Chat is a communication software that helps businesses of all sizes and non-profit organizations collaborate on projects and tasks. It lets users set up virtual chat rooms and chat threads, track task progress, and create follow-up tasks on a centralized platform.
Google Chat enables professionals to automatically receive notifications when users share files and post comments on Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides. Teams can connect the system with Google Calendar to schedule meetings based on staff members’ availability. It also utilizes single sign-on and two-factor authentication methodologies to provide secure user experience whilst maintaining compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, ISO, and AICPA regulations and guidelines.
Google Chat comes with an API, which enables businesses to integrate the system with GSuite applications and several third-party solutions. It provides a search functionality, which allows staff members to filter through previous conversations and shared files.

Near-Perfect Professional Integration

The integration with Gmail enhances productivity by allowing quick, seamless information exchange (also in group), making it ideal for professional settings.
Similarly, the Google Meet integration streamlines meeting setup with just one click, simplifying remote collaboration.
However, the inability to see if messages have been viewed is a drawback, as it can create uncertainty and delay in communications.
Overall, while the tool is highly useful for professional purposes, adding message read receipts would improve more its functionality.
Pros
Integration with Gmail, very useful for professional scopes mostly when you need to exchange a quick info with your collegues.
Possibility to create groups
Integration with Google meet: with just one click you can send an invitation
Cons
You cannot see if your message was viewed
