So, if you’re the chairman of your companies Party Planning Committee, read on to see how you can spin up a groovy Group Chat session the next time you planning something in the office! To start using group chat in Gmail, just Click the Add people icon near the top of the chat box while chatting with someone. The screenshot below is a view of Gmail chat in a pop-out window. You can add as many contacts as you’d like to the chat, which makes this a groovy way to text-conference.
Once you’ve added the person, they’ll show up in the chat and will be able to hear any messages you send. Note that you’ll be knocked out of off the record chat once your 3rd party enters.
This feature works in the normal gmail window as well, as shown in the screenshot below.
Conclusion
Gmail group chat is an often unused and overlooked feature from Google’s email service. Thanks to learning about this feature, I can now spam multiple people from a single window. It’s a win for everyone!!!! Do you have a great GMAIL or other groovy Tech tip? Shoot us an email at tips@groovypost.com! Comment Name * Email *
