@khaliphj yea, all the diff product names are incredibly hard to keep track of. hopefully the product itself isn't so confusing-- the deep integration plus gsuite could be a big win.
@owenbossola Agree. It's not necessarily the product names for me, it's just the fact that they all have VERY similar functionality and can be easily combined into one (message+video) or two functioning app (messaging and video seperate)

@khaliphj and for sure, there should be running some legacy Google Talk app overthere
Google's answer to Slack. We are deeply integrated with google's services - we use G-Suite as our office suite - so both Google Meet and now Chat are interesting to us.
Meet has replaced appear.in and I can see Chat become the first Slack challenger we will look at seriously. Google are on their A game at the moment, both with their hardware offerings (huge surprise there) and their services.

@andreasduess seeing as slack's chat aspect is essentially IIRC on steroids (and easily copyable), it will be interesting to see how the integrations element is approached by google and others.
Report
@thejeremycarson Very true. The integration, and willingness to be open, is one of Slack's defining features. Having said that, after an initial flurry of excitement, we have now removed almost all Slack integrations and went back to simplicity.

@andreasduess@thejeremycarson I 100% agree on integrations. Many of them cause productivity decreases as opposed to increases.
@getbrandflakes@andreasduess@thejeremycarson Totally valid, most of the fun integrations are not conducive to a work environment. But I was able to build some integrations at my last job that were super helpful, like the ability to create a bug report from inside Slack that would post to our Pivotal Board. The Slack API has a lot of power if you think of your company Slack as an OS for your team.
Since there is no description provided here, this is what provided in the blog
"Hangouts Meet is a new video meeting experience with one goal: make joining meetings effortless so that people can be as productive as they are when they’re face-to-face."
Weird considering that google is using Slack internally. One thing is certain: the bonds between chat and web conferencing are getting tighter. We even implemented some "Slack patterns" inside Livestorm live chat inside the webinar rooms.
I'm a big fan of the GSuite, so, this intrigues me. But our Slack *virtual office* has so many integrations it'd be harder to be replaced by another product. They'll need the same level of integrations.

@pupeno Just curious - which integrations does your team use the most often?
