![]() ![]() Check your internet connection and make sure you have updated the Google Chat app to the most recent version. Check out the following article to learn everything about sending and sharing files in chat messages. Yes, you can react with emojis, and my mom no longer accidentally calls me when she leaves the chat open on her phone. There’s really almost nothing that’s an improvement here. Again, Google trying to keep you tethered to their products. WTAF the computer app isn’t a standalone app! You have to have Gmail open in Chrome to be able to use it even though you have to install it separately. I’m used to it, but toggling back and forth to figure out where the new message is is still a nuisance. Separation of individuals and “rooms” confused everyone in my family (we use this as our primary communication). Why on earth does it keep a copy of every link or image I send in the chat text box? Why would I want that when it’s right there as the last thing I sent? I hate having to delete it just to continue the conversation. Hangouts shared videos right away, so I know they don’t have to do it like this. Here are all the problems I’ve encountered: - Can’t share files unless they’re in Google Drive (Google trying to limit you to using their products) - Videos are uploaded when you share them, which means it takes FOREVER. ![]() I’m so tired of this nonsensical app that I have to say something. Once again, I’m waiting a ridiculous amount of time for a friend’s video to upload in Google Chat so I can watch it. If you’re hoping to do more with it, you should look elsewhere for a more thoughtfully designed, and scalable, communication method. If you’re only using the phone app and only for chatting with a limited number of friends socially, which is clearly the use case they have decided to laser focus on, you’ll be fine with it. The conversations are spaced relatively far apart and take up way too much screen real estate. ![]() The alphabetical sorting of conversations means hunting down the person you were just talking to. It’s completely unwieldy with more than 20 active conversations. I used Hangouts and now use Chat in a professional environment, for more casual short form comms, and it’s clear after 6 weeks of heavy use that Chat wasn’t designed for anything more than light usage. Google Chat is at its best on the mobile app, but if you’re using it regularly, across mobile and in the desktop chrome extension, you’ll quickly see the questionable choices made by the developers. Unfortunately, that’s about where the improvements end. That’s really nice and a feature we were hoping for coming from Hangouts. The problem has now spread to Google Sync in Chrome - though that was solved by clicking the "Disconnect your Google Account." button and then reconnecting using the gmail address.Google Chat added the ability to have rooms where specific topic threads can be created. So how do I get the application to accept my login? I've also tried reinstalling the application in the (vain) hope that it would reset whatever it is that's wrong. I get the same error whether I try the original non gmail address or my gmail address. I'm getting the password correct because if I enter the wrong one it errors at the first page of the login process. So now which ever e-mail address I enter to start with it always resets it to the gmail address - which of course doesn't match the non-gmail address it has stored somewhere. I think the problem might stem from the fact that I originally used a non-gmail address to sign in with, but have had to create a gmail address - that's linked to the same Google account - to get my Android phone working. Please sign in again with your account to proceed. The account that you entered does not match. I'm having trouble signing into the Google Drive desktop sync application on all the computers where I have it installed.
