I want to attract our generation of users to Google Workspace! Now get ready, next time you will move towards telling the story with your voice. Google Chat is going to officially support voice messaging, even though it is not a new feature anymore, it is one of the most desired features by its users. Voice messaging lets you send audio clips directly to your chat.

And wow, there goes that slack-down icon for send. You will now see a lit microphone icon in the top right corner on both the Android and iOS apps. Press a simple button and the recording is already done – no need to keep pressing any buttons. A selectable waveform visualizer that allows you to listen to your record in real time lets you know how long you’ve been speaking and a timer helps you keep track. Worried you messed up? No problem! First, listening to the message or recording yourself is the easiest way to check for errors and will help prevent them from occurring in the future.

He opened his message converted into audio. Then like any other, it appeared as a wave in the chat bar. Coworkers can also provide input by reacting to you with emojis or quoting parts of the recording, similar to text messages. And the best part? Google adds captions over the next several months, so; Users don’t have to worry about a single word of the message.

Voice messaging is for now a feature that’s only available to Workspace’s paid plans like Enterprise Essentials and Enterprise Plus. However, those who want to have an account but can’t afford it yet will have to wait a little longer. The good thing is that in a hopeless situation, there is already light at the end of the tunnel – this feature will finally appear on your Google Chat app.

So, the next time you want to convey a concise message to elaborate a complex concept, put away the keyboard and let your voice sing. This new feature can save you a lot of time, it can also add some personality to your messages, and ultimately it’s sure to give your recipients the right image.
