Google takes on Slack, splits Hangouts into Chat and Meet

Hangouts Meet that was earlier this month will allow G Suit users to make and receive HD video calls. You can start meetings with up to 30 members with a shared link and does not need accounts, plugins or downloads. Members can join via their desktop or the mobile app. It even comes with Gmail and Calendar integrations. There is a green “join” button that helps users attend a meeting straight from the phone. G Suite Enterprise customers will get a dedicated dial-in phone number that is useful for team members that are travelling. Google has also produced a bot called @meet designed to schedule meetings on your behalf.
