Other slides published by Rahman show that youll be able to put a conversation and a Google Doc side by side while in Gmail, permitting you to work together on the document and discuss it in real time. Youll obviously even be able to have a Google Meet video chat window in picture-in-picture mode on top of all that, letting you discuss tasks on a call while still taking a look at the chat and document in front of you:.
In the redesign, there are now tabs for Mail, Chat, Rooms, and Meet. The Chat tab seeks to take you to your conversations with individuals, while Rooms appear to be areas for topic-based discussions, comparable to Slack channels. The Meet tab reveals your upcoming Google Meet conferences and tips for who you may desire to call. (The Meet tab might look familiar– Google already revealed in June that it was concerning Gmails iOS and Android apps.).
In January, it was reported that Google was aiming to merge its work environment tools and messaging apps under one mobile app, and it seems possible these dripped slides are revealing the fruits of that labor. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the business has actually rapidly reinforced its partnership tools, consisting of rebranding Hangouts Meet to Google Meet, including new functions to Meet (and making it complimentary for everybody), and converting Hangouts Chat for business users to Google Chat.
Google seemingly has a huge Gmail redesign in the works that might let you work together with colleagues, work on Google Docs, and talk over Google Meet all without leaving Gmail. Dripped pictures of the redesign were spotted on Googles website for the Google Cloud Next 20: OnAir occasion by Twitter user Tahin Rahman (by means of Android Cops).
