Google's email service provider, Gmail is one of the email service providers that has the most users today. Gmail is usually used for sending messages or correspondence. The reason is, it is very easy to use even from a smartphone, and sending files and videos can also be done in this email service. Not only that, Gmail is also predicted to have the largest storage capacity or cloud storage at this time, when compared to email services. from other providers. Then, what else is interesting?
Despite its title as the largest service provider, Gmail doesn't want to be out of date.
Google, the owner of the service, continues to bring updates by adding new features on a regular basis. For example, now users can integrate Google Chat, Meets and Room services directly accessed in the Gmail menu. The latest news from Gmail's mainstay features is back. And it seems, later Gmail users can make voice and video calls one-on-one in the Gmail application directly.
Yes, usually users can make phone and video calls using applications that are integrated with Gmail such as Gmeet, Facebook, WhatsApp and others. Now users can do it from Gmail directly.
As is known, previously users had to go to the Google Meet menu first and share the meeting invitation link to make video and voice calls. In this latest version, Gmail users can now make video and voice calls in the Gmail menu and the service is similar to the video call feature on WhatsApp. Gmail users can find the handset and camera features to make calls in Gmail. And just like on WhatsApp, users just click on one of these icons and they will be redirected to Google Meet. People who are called can immediately receive calls from Gmail users and answer them. Well, then what's the difference between video calls from Gmail and regular Google Meet?
The difference is, users now don't need to share the link first with the parties they want to call. Currently, video telephony services will be available to paid users first. But take it easy. For those of you who are free users, the service is also rumored to be available for free users.
Free Google Workspace services
Not long ago, Google also decided to discontinue Google Workspace services. Google Workspace, or formerly known as Google G Suite, was originally a paid service that companies could use to boost productivity. Now, this service can also be enjoyed for free by free users. Google Workspace includes a number of applications made by Google, such as Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Sheets, and Meet. All applications in Google Workspace are more integrated and there are additional features to make it easier for users to work with colleagues.
Examples of integration here are Google Chat, Meets, and Room services which can be directly accessed in the Gmail menu. According to Google, this is an effort to increase the efficiency of users' time.
The Chat and Rooms feature itself allows Gmail users to chat with colleagues, give assignments, to create reminders on Google Calendar in groups directly.
Not only that, the Chat and Rooms feature also allows users to share files in various formats. Starting from Docx, PDF, PNG, to documents from Google Workspace services such as Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and so on.
Interestingly, when users share the Google Workspace document link, users can access it directly from the Chat feature in the web version of Gmail, without the need to leave Gmail.
