Google Unveils Hangouts Meet, Hangouts Chat for Businesses

Google's new business communication tools will allow users to participate in videoconferences and text chats

Google revealed two new communication tools for businesses: Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Chat. Hangouts Meet allows users to participate in video meetings with their colleagues, while Hangouts Chat is a text-messaging platform similar to Slack.

With Hangouts Meet, users can create and share links to videoconferences, which other users can join without creating accounts or installing plugins. Users can also join meetings from Google Calendar events or email invites. For G Suite Enterprise users, each meeting has a dedicated dial-in phone number.

Meanwhile, Hangouts Chat allows users to create separate chat rooms for each project, which have threaded conversations.
