You can finally create Google Chat group convos with external guests

Credit: Taylor Kerns / Android Authority TL;DR Google Chat is rolling out a new update. Users will now be able to create group conversations with multiple external users. This update is available to Google Workspace customers and Workspace Individual subscribers.

Being able to communicate with your team in real time is very useful when completing a project. For that purpose, Google Chat gives you exactly what you need. But what about when you need to bring people from outside of your organization in on the conversation?

The service is rolling out an update to solve such a situation. In a blog post , Google announced that it is rolling out an update to the Chat app. This update will allow you to create a group chat for external users.

Previously, you could start a chat with someone on the outside, but only 1-on-1 conversations were allowed. You could also create a space in Chat with external access enabled. However, this update now lets you bring in multiple external users into a single group conversation.
