How to install Google Chat on your computer or mobile.
Google Chat is part of Google Workspace by Kimbley IT that lets you communicate with your team. Whether you want a one-to-one chat, a group chat, or a chat space to work on a project together, Google Chat lets you do all that!
You can access Google Chat by going to chat.google.com, but you can also install it on your computer. Once you have Google Chat installed on your computer, a Google Chat icon will appear on your dock or taskbar, giving you direct access to all your chat messages.
To Install Google Chat on Windows or Mac:
Visit chat.google.com in Google Chrome.
Once the website has loaded, you should see a banner offering you the option to Install Google Chat.
If you aren't offered the option to install Google Chat, look for the download ⬇️ icon at the end of the address bar.
Click the download ⬇️ icon, and you will get an option to install Google Chat.
The Google Chat icon will appear on your dock or taskbar, and Google Chat will open in its own window.
On Windows, right-click the Google Chat icon on the taskbar to pin it so it won't vanish if you close Google Chat. On a Mac, drag the icon to where you want it to live on your dock.
Now, whenever you want to access Google Chat, click the icon.
Install Google Chat on your mobile:
Open the app store on your phone.
Search for "Google Chat".
Install the app.
Open the app and sign in with your work email.
You now should have direct access to Google Chat on your computer and mobile devices.
