Description
When you’re in a Google Hangouts group chat, invite others to join by sending a link.
Examples
- If you're working on a team project and want to set up an instant group chat, send the link to the team’s mailing list.
- Need a quick answer from someone not in your group chat? Send that person a link to the group chat instead of setting up a separate meeting.
