Google said Hangouts Meet, its video conferencing service, will soon have the ability for participants to send and receive text and web links via chat.
Google relaunched its video calling and chatting services earlier this year with an emphasis on business users.
At the time, Google said chatting would come to Meet later this year; now, Google has made good on that promise.
The text/link chatting tool is available to Meet both via desktop browsers and the mobile client. Google Meet is free to use. The new functionality should reach all users within two weeks.
