Pin chat messages in Google Meet

Wednesday, January 31, 2024

What’s changing 

You can now pin messages to the top of the meeting chat. Pinned messages will appear for all users, even if they join the meeting after the message was initially sent. This makes it easy to ensure that important messages - like links to presentations - are displayed prominently and easily accessible by meeting participants.

 

 

Getting started

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
  • End users: 
    • Meeting participants can pin and unpin their own messages. Meeting hosts can unpin anyone’s message.
    • You can pin a message by hovering over it in the chat window and selecting the pin icon. Visit the Help Center to learn more about sending chat messages.

 

Use the pin icon to pin or or unpin a message.

We recently experienced a scam job opportunity email campaign. Do not assume that @gmail.com or @zohomail.com addresses offer job opportunities. The phishing email looked similar to the following.
