We use it for our family chat, and so far it's been a total pain. Google changes things so regularly, but with little awareness of the impact those changes make. At one point they deprecated hangouts for chat, but required hangouts still for viewing video on mobile, while also enabling partially supported chat on gmail. What ended up happening was there was a period where I had to have all 3 apps on my phone to use it, and I'd get a notification from all 3 for every message: https://twitter.com/pwnies/status/1404895098194644994 https://twitter.com/pwnies/status/1404895098194644994 The one thing I will say that's great about it is their search functionality is top tier.
