to collaborate remotely with your team, why not try Google\u2019s messaging app too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Granted, even though I\u2019ve been seeing that chat icon every time I went to check my work emails, I\u2019ve never actually tried this messaging tool before this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Still, I was pleasantly surprised by the features I found, which included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">A minimalist user interface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li

Most of the other collaborative features, such as task management, are also outsourced to the relevant Google Workspace apps. For example, any task you assign to someone within a Google Chat Space will appear in the Google Task app as well as your Google Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"861\" src=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Spaces-and-replies-in-threads-in-Google-Chat.webp\" alt=\"Spaces and replies in threads in Google Chat\" class=\"wp-image-16552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Spaces-and-replies-in-threads-in-Google-Chat.webp 1800w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Spaces-and-replies-in-threads-in-Google-Chat-300x144.webp 300w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Spaces-and-replies-in-threads-in-Google-Chat-1024x490.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Spaces-and-replies-in-threads-in-Google-Chat-768x367.webp 768w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Spaces-and-replies-in-threads-in-Google-Chat-1536x735.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Spaces-and-replies-in-threads-in-Google-Chat-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spaces and replies in threads in Google Chat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">So, even though Google Chat lacks some of these features, it is well supported by the rest of Google\u2019s ecosystem \u2014 for better or for worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Google Chat\u2019s pros<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Google Chat\u2019s cons<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>\u2013 Free with Google Workspace<br>\u2013 Simple (but not customizable) interface<br>\u2013 AI-powered search and predictive text<br>\u2013 Deep integration with Google Workspace tools and some third-party apps<\/td><td>\u2013 Can\u2019t be used without the rest of Google Workspace tools<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"whats-new-in-google-chat\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">What\u2019s new in Google Chat?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">The new Trello for Google Workspace integration allows users to turn Google Chat messages directly into Trello cards without leaving the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"banner banner-light pumble-gradient-templates\">\n    <div class=\"banner-text lg:pr-[6rem]\">\n        <h2 class=\"translation-block text-2xl !mb-4\">The one employee communication app to rule them all<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"translation-block !text-sm\">Find out why Pumble by CAKE.com is better than other team messaging tools.<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"banner-buttons d-flex space-x-4 translation-block\">\n            <a class=\"rounded-md px-6 py-2 bg-white\" href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/compare\" target=\"_blank\">Compare<\/a>\n\n                            <a class=\"button-2\" href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/register\" target=\"_blank\">Try Pumble<\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"banner-image banner-image-middle \">\n        <picture>\n            <source srcset=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/themes\/cake-learn\/src\/images\/pumble\/banners\/templates@2x.png 2x\" alt=\"Illustration\"  media=\"(min-width: 1022px)\" \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/themes\/cake-learn\/src\/images\/pumble\/banners\/templates.png\"  alt=\"Illustration\" \/>\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4-zoom-best-for-collaborative-video-events\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">#4: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a> \u2014 best for collaborative video events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Most people know Zoom as the tool they need to host and participate in web conferences, but that\u2019s not all there is to the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Just like Google and Microsoft, Zoom actually offers a large suite of remote team communication tools for business.

So, even though limiting free plan teams to under 5 members is a pretty harsh move, I can still recommend the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">After all, both free and paying users get to experience Chanty\u2019s <strong>minimalist user interface<\/strong>, which was a breath of fresh air for me, especially after experiencing Slack\u2019s cluttered interface.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"862\" src=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Messages-in-Chanty.webp\" alt=\"Messages in Chanty\" class=\"wp-image-16555\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2.0869565217391304;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Messages-in-Chanty.webp 1800w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Messages-in-Chanty-300x144.webp 300w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Messages-in-Chanty-1024x490.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Messages-in-Chanty-768x368.webp 768w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Messages-in-Chanty-1536x736.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Messages-in-Chanty-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Messages in Chanty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn translation-block wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/compare\/free-chanty-alternative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover a free Chanty alternative<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Even with the additional channels that were added for every one of my test tasks I created, I still found it easy to get around the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, the only thing I didn\u2019t really like about the UI was the way the threads and the conversation details panels covered the main messages when I opened those elements.

Instead, <strong>all communication is organized in threads<\/strong>, which makes team communication look a bit like emailing (and that Inbox tab on the sidebar doesn\u2019t help that association).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"860\" src=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A-thread-in-the-general-channel-in-Twist.webp\" alt=\"A thread in the #general channel in Twist\" class=\"wp-image-16557\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2.0869565217391304;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A-thread-in-the-general-channel-in-Twist.webp 1800w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A-thread-in-the-general-channel-in-Twist-300x143.webp 300w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A-thread-in-the-general-channel-in-Twist-1024x489.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A-thread-in-the-general-channel-in-Twist-768x367.webp 768w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A-thread-in-the-general-channel-in-Twist-1536x734.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/A-thread-in-the-general-channel-in-Twist-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A thread in the #general channel in Twist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, users must give their thread an appropriate <strong>subject line<\/strong> and explain what will be discussed in the replies below. As you talk, you can also easily <strong>assign certain messages as tasks through your Todoist account<\/strong>. And, once your team has reached the end of the discussion, you can <strong>close the thread<\/strong> and even write the conclusion of the conversation when you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">At that point, the thread will disappear from the channel that hosted it (unless you make closed threads visible through the channel settings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, if the topic ever needs to be revisited, you\u2019ll be able to find the thread through the search feature and reopen it by simply adding a reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">This is only one of the ways in which Twist prioritizes asynchronous communication. To name another, I only need to mention that <strong>the app doesn\u2019t even have built-in video conferencing capabilities<\/strong> \u2014 though that feature is still present thanks to the app\u2019s Jitsi Meet integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">A much more concerning con would be the fact that <strong>free plan users only have access to a month of their comments and messages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn translation-block wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keep all your messages forever<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Twist\u2019s pros<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Twist\u2019s cons<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>\u2013 Clean user interface<br>\u2013 Prioritizes asynchronous communication<br>\u2013 Organized discussions in threads<br>\u2013 Unread messages shown in the Inbox tab<br>\u2013 Plenty of useful integrations<\/td><td>\u2013 No built-in voice or video calls<br>\u2013 Free plan limits access to messages<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"whats-new-in-twist\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">What\u2019s new in Twist?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">According to Twist\u2019s website, the developers are taking a hiatus from adding new features to Twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"banner banner-light pumble-gradient-templates\">\n    <div class=\"banner-text lg:pr-[6rem]\">\n        <h2 class=\"translation-block text-2xl !mb-4\">A fan of asynchronous communication?

Generally, the platform seems to embrace the chaotic nature of its original purpose, which is also reflected in its cluttered UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Still, Discord\u2019s always-on calling feature might also make it a great solution for distributed teams that want to feel more connected or professionals who have to be available around the clock \u2014 like security teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn translation-block wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/compare\/free-discord-alternative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try a free Discord alternative<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">But, keep in mind that, while voice calls can be joined by any number of users, video calls can host up to 25 people in a standard voice channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of which, I found that <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/discord-pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discord\u2019s free plan<\/a> had plenty of useful features \u2014 which is a good thing, because its paid plans certainly don\u2019t add anything in terms of professional tools.
