@ArtemR You can do Google Chat -> Google Chat video attachments, though. The problem here is the other person is on old Hangouts.

I don't choose to put my work conversations in Google chat (for christ's sake. what type of idiocy was that). I don't take down networks. to be fair---in my current role that isn't off the table. I don't want to jinx anything. but that's them.

The new Google Chat early access is so awesome...... To know how too, drop your email for invite.... But first go to you preferred mail settings, scroll to general, scroll down a bit and click chat (early access).... Update your Gmail app first... https://t.co/fSKrSeJvWD

@GoogleWorkspace Is this what you sacrificed Google Hangouts for in its latest update?
Google Hangouts no longer opens after this week's "bug fixes". Google Chat doesn't have a voice option. Google Voice is not available in Australia.
Fix this please.

@peterghorner #GoogleChat is the most frustrating @GoogleWorkspace app. Rooms would be game-changing for teachers working with small groups of students. The problem is kids can kick each other out of rooms! I have sent this feedback so many times. https://t.co/ghjty00qhf

@jsoltero Please fix the chat functionality ASAP. There is Google Chat, Hangouts Chat and Google Hangouts. There is also a Chrome extension called "Chat". None of them work well, one is Beta, the other one deprecated... It's a complete mess and unusable for businesses.
