In a Workspace blog, Google highlighted the introduction of video messaging capability in Google Chat. They revealed some of its real-world use cases. The company says customer support or sales team members can use it for sharing video updates. These updates may be about new features or account changes. It can be useful for sharing company-wide updates. It can also serve as a proxy for a live meeting missed by members.
This feature can be used in direct messages (DMs), group DMs, and spaces like any other chat message. You can interact with it by quoting, replying, or reacting. Messages sent or received will be stored in the Media section of the Shared tab.
