Google Chat will automatically suggest 1:1 chat based on your Google Calendar
Monday, March 15, 2021
In Google Chat, you’ll now see suggested 1:1 chats based on current meetings on your Google Calendar. You’ll see the suggested conversation shortcut at the top of the Chat section in Gmail on mobile and web and in Google Chat on mobile.
Suggested chats will appear at the top of the Chat section in Gmail on mobile.
The chat will be visible ten minutes prior to the 1:1 meeting and ten minutes after the meeting ends. We hope this feature makes it easier to share information and files before a meeting begins, let meeting attendees know you’re running late, or share quick follow-ups once a meeting has concluded.
- Admins: No action required.
- End users: There is no end user setting for this feature. Visit the Help Center to learn more about sending a chat message to a person or group.
Suggested chats will appear at the top of the Chat section in Gmail on mobile.
