Google Chat users can now share video messages similar to WhatsApp


This comes as an extension to the previously announced voice messages feature for Google Chat.

In a Workspace blog post early this week, the company announced support for video messages in Google Chat, which will help users "save time, convey more information, add tone or emphasis" in various scenarios. This new rollout is believed to be helpful in multiple scenarios, one of which, according to the search giant, is "Team members sending a video with outstanding updates in lieu of attending a live meeting." Regardless, the support is expected to take place very soon, and Google is also planning to add "transcription services" for these video messages to "further enhance the experience."
