Google will soon be integrating Meet and Chat more tightly to ensure more seamless communication, helping those who may not be able to make every call.

Messages, feedback, links and other shared resources will now be scooped up
by Chat during Google Meet calls, and theyll be available to view after the meeting has closed.

The integration also brings some loved features into Meet, including emoji reactions and image/file sharing powered by Google Chat. Google Meet is now getting some extra Chat features

Attendees can send pre-reads and other meeting materials to the group ahead
of the meeting in Google Chat, and these resources will be available in
Google Meet throughout the call, the company explained in a blog post .

Google explained the change was designed to improve post-meeting follow-through, making it easier for attendees to summarize key points and surface action items.

Chats integration with Meet is only coming to Google Workspace business and enterprise customers for now not personal accounts. Enterprise Essentials/Essentials Plus/Starter/Standard/Plus, Business Starter/Standard/Plus and Frontline Starter/Standard/Plus will be the first customers to gain access to the new feature.

Google also stressed that it could take 15-30 days for full rollout depending on account type.

Its also worth noting that the feature is designed for Google Calendar-scheduled calls; meeting hosts can still disable the feature, but they must do so before the call starts from the Google Calendar events video call options screen.

These messages will respect the retention policies and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules you have configured for Google Chat, Google added.

For external attendees, the chat is only available for participants during
the call to preserve data security.
