This month, Google will release a new, integrated Gmail experience. The new Gmail puts email, chat (Google Chat), video collaboration (Google Meet), tasks and document collaboration into a single workspace. Initially, integrated Gmail will be released on the web version of Gmail (webmail.case.edu or mail.google.com) and the official Android Gmail app. The Apple iOS app will be updated later.
The concept of “Rooms,” originally in Google Chat, is expanding to cover other services in the new Gmail. Rooms are a group or team of collaborators. Members of a Room will be able to chat, collaborate on documents, assign tasks to each other and launch a team video call. For more details, including settings that need to be on in order to receive the new integrated Gmail, watch the video overview.
