Google Workspace Makes Spaces Available to All Users

September 13, 2021

As some employees return to the office while others work remotely, employee location has gotten a little more challenging. To accommodate these hybrid working environments, Google expands its Google Workspace offering by enabling spaces in Google Chat for all users.

Spaces interact with Workspace tools like the calendar, Drive, and documents to give users a more hybrid work experience. They can see the whole history, content, and context of interactions regardless of where they are.

The following are some of the new features in spaces:

• Everything is managed through a single interface: inbox, chats, spaces, and meetings.
• People may find and partake in the conversation by making spaces and the content inside them discoverable.
• Within a space, you can respond to any communication. 
• There’s an improved capacity to search within a team’s knowledge base.
• Security and admin tools to monitor communication have been improved.
