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.

I love the way that anyone in my circle can easily contact me and because it cab be installed on practically everything I never miss a message or contact.
Pros
The best part of this software is the ability to have it in use across multiple platforms. Cell Phone, Computer, tablet, etc. one-stop for making sure I am connected to those who need to contact me.
Cons
I have been using this software for a very long time and I honestly have not found anything lacking as far as daily use goes.

I use it daily in my agency to communicate with the internal teams of each project. It's easy and straightforward, you set it up in no time (it's integrated in our Google email accounts!).
Pros
Works everywhere (from mobile, desktop, tablet... really, anywhere!), flexible and powerful, it natively integrates with Google Drive so you can also transfer files very easily, rooms are easy to create and manage and they let you manage your projects and teams in an easy and elegant way.
Cons
The UX is ugly, as most of Google products. Notifications are not easy to set up and this is quite important for an instant messaging app.

Pros
The feature I like most about using google chat is connecting google meet to it. You can also create a chat group. You can also make a new meeting directly to the chat.
Cons
You cannot use this software offline. The google chat will only work if you have internet access which is given. In the future, I hope you can also use this offline
