Integrated Gmail Experience Begins Rolling Out on October 1

On October 1, Google will integrate the Gmail, Chat, Rooms, and Meet apps together into one page on Gmail.com and in the iOS and Android apps.

  • Gmail: The same email experience you know.
  • Chat: Message individuals and small groups directly (Chat will replace the current Hangouts app).
  • Rooms: Collaboration spaces for groups and teams.
  • Meet: Create video meetings and see all upcoming video meetings.

You can access Chat and Meet directly if you prefer to use these tools as stand-alone services.

Google has also introduced new features to help simplify your work inside the new interface. You can now:

  • Edit your shared Docs and assign group tasks in Rooms.
  • Set your availability to ‘Do not disturb’ to help you focus on your task at hand.
  • Search across email and chat messages.
