Google Chat will automatically suggest 1:1 chat based on your Google Calendar
Monday, March 15, 2021
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.
Getting started
- 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.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on March 15, 2021
Availability
- Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers
- Not available to consumers with personal Google Accounts
