> I think they’re effectively ending the Hangouts brand in favor of Chat. And that includes tying Chat into Gmail. But also a separate Chat app. As for “Hangouts Chat”, which was a thing, I have no idea. I think that’s gone in favor of Hangouts which is now gone in favor of Chat. Again, I think.
Rooms is different. It’s group chat. I think. But it’s a part of Chat, I think. It’s also a part of Gmail which includes Chat, I think. Meet is like Chat for Enterprise with a focus on Rooms, I think. But I actually may be wrong there.
lol! good old Google. As it happens I'm working on my own chat-based discussion site, feel free to check it out. We won't be renaming/repackaging it every 6 months. https://sqwok.im
