Spaces are now live in Google Chat to provide users with a central place for flexible collaboration in Workspace.
In an effort to further its vision for hybrid work through a single connected experience, Google has announced that Spaces are now available for all Google Workspace users. Spaces are a central place for team collaboration in Google Workspace and they are tightly integrated with other tools from the search giant including Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet and Tasks. They also provide a better way for users to engage in topic-based discussions, share knowledge and ideas, move projects forward and build communities and team culture. As workforces become more distributed with some employees working from home while others are in the office, Spaces also provide a way for anyone at an organization to see the full history, context and content of conversations so they can follow along and jump in to contribute at any time. Senior director of product management for Google Workspace, Sanaz Ahari explained in a press release how the company designed Spaces to address the challenges its own distributed workforce faces, saying: “As some people return to the office, teams need that ability to flexibly collaborate from anywhere, anytime.
