How to Master Continuous Meeting Conversations in Google Workspace

In this session 207 of the OnEBoard Chat one of Nina is presenting the recently implemented feature "Continuous Chat with Google Meet", continuous meeting conversations. The Slides are available for free from the recap article linked below.

The OnEBoard team, Peggy and Bob debate the pros and cons of the functionality.

The "continuous meeting conversation" feature in Google Workspace is a new, powerful capability designed to create a persistent chat record for virtual meetings by syncing Google Meet messages with a dedicated Google Chat conversation. Its primary value proposition is for businesses with recurring meetings, as it creates a continuous, analyzable log of communications that can be leveraged for insights and automation.

The feature is currently characterized by a highly complex, multi-application setup process and significant user experience deficiencies. Key challenges include a limited and confusing experience for external guests, technical unreliability that causes the feature to fail unexpectedly, and the potential for chat clutter from frequent meetings. The setup requires configuration by a knowledgeable host across the Google Admin Console, Calendar, Meet, and Chat, with no in-product guidance for troubleshooting. Experts find its current implementation frustrating and recommend its use be limited to internal meetings until significant improvements are made, urging users to provide direct feedback to Google to shape its development.

Despite the significant challenges, the feature is promising for the future of business communications.
