Google is heavily involved in many aspects of the social media industry. Alongside traditional chat-style programs like Google Chat, you have standard services like YouTube and Gmail. Customers of Workspace who would like not to pay for a separate corporate communications product frequently utilize the latter, despite it not being very popular. But Chat syncs easily between your mobile devices and the web, and users are kept happy with regular feature improvements. The newest feature rolling out now is integrated functionality for sending video messages.
The majority of dedicated communication tools, such as Microsoft Teams and Slack, currently allow audio and video notes to be sent. But Chat is a bit late to the party, maybe because Google was busier providing features like broadcast messaging, IFTTT integrations, support for Slack and Teams communications, and a feature that looks a lot like WhatsApp Communities. Earlier this year, voice note support was also added.
Google has already begun to roll out video message support, which is a useful feature for times you want to communicate by video but are unable to do so during a live conference call. Additionally, Google thinks that rather than calling a meeting, employees would be able to communicate noteworthy information and company-wide announcements made by executives. Not that you should, but you may send video messages in direct messages (DMs), group chats, and public spaces—anywhere that accepts text messages.
Everyone can respond, quote, and react to your messages. Before you click Send, you can check the video again to make sure you didn't miss anything or make a mistake.
Instantaneous Rollout Limited by Account Type
It makes sense because Meet and Duo address video interaction demands, thus those with simple Google accounts might not want such a function. Google is making the choice for you; certain Business, Enterprise, Essentials, Nonprofit, and Frontline account categories now have the ability to send video messages. While it is enabled by default, workspace administrators have the ability to disable it.
Support is currently restricted to web browsers. Google makes it clear that the Chat app for Android, Linux, ChromeOS, and Firefox cannot record video messages. Additionally, keep in mind that when you use Google Takeout to export your data, the videos will be handled as attachments.
Today is the first day that you'll see the Video message option in Google Chat; the release should be completed by early November.
