Users can store a copy of their Hangouts content via Google Takeout - the tech company's Download Your Data project. The data must be downloaded before Hangouts is no longer available in November 2022.In its blog post, Google said that moving to Chat will let users edit Docs, Slides or Sheets with side-by-side editing, making it easier to collaborate while continuing the conversation. It also includes Spaces, a dedicated place for topic-based collaboration.The statement also said that groups and teams can share ideas, work on documents, and manage files and tasks, all from a single location. The new integrated view in Gmail makes it easier to use Chat alongside your Gmail inbox, Spaces, and Meet.
