Google Workspace never ceases to amaze us with new features that facilitate effective collaboration and communication. One of the newest and most useful is the ability to pin messages in Google Meet chats. No more searching for important links or reminders in a multitude of messages!
What does pinning messages mean in Google Meet?
This new feature allows you to highlight important messages at the top of the meeting chat. Pinned messages are visible to all participants, even those who join the session after the message has been pinned. This ensures everyone has access to crucial information, such as links to presentations, relevant documents, or task reminders.
How to pin a message?
Pinning a message is very simple:
-
Hover over the message you want to highlight in the chat window.
