It is a real opportunity missed for google. Slack/Teams is the current heart of company activities all over the world and Google only provides tens of similar chat tools. They should really communicate about this.

Google is so big I'm sure they had their own ups and downs. I see so many school districts doubling down on Google Classroom--the district may have used it previously, but were now adding accounts for Kindergarteners.

While Google usage is way up, ad buys dropped like a rock.

Can confirm classroom is seeing huge adoption in SEA too

Have you tried Hangouts lately? Google needs to kill that whole product line.

I never understood how a company like Google constantly tries to build a decent chat app but never succeeds. They have so much software developers, they own the biggest ad-network worldwide and the majority of mobile phones runs their operating system with their appstore and default apps. They are the biggest email provider as well iirc.

How can you fail so miserably with building a chat app when you're in such a starting position?!
