A nice quality-of-life improvement for Google Chat will let you rename group conversations, while teams will benefit from a new “board” feature.
Besides project/team-focused Spaces, Google Chat offers 1:1 and group direct messages. The title for group conversations was previously just the first name of everyone in the chat.
Google Chat is now letting you “create names for existing and new group direct messages.” This is rolling out for all users over the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Google is adding a new “board” tab to all conversation types that appears as a column next to that chat. This “virtual bulletin board” can show pinned messages, links, and files (resources), with Gemini suggestions that let you “quickly find and add relevant resources.” In terms of access:
window.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];
adSlotsConfig.push( {
slotID: ‘/1049447/Outbrain’,
slotName: ‘div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-661549’,
sizes: [300, 250],
slotPosition: ‘mid_article’
} );
Touted use cases include:
This is rolling out over the coming weeks to “all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.”
