In this video, we're going to cover the basic introduction to Google Chat. There's a couple ways to get to Google Chat. One of those is to go up here to your Google app launcher when you're in your Google and go to the nine dots up here, the Google app launcher. Go to Google Chat. One of the cool things about these, they're drag and drop. So if you want to change the order, change anything here, or even drag up, like Lucidpress, Lucid Design, that we've discussed previously, you can drag those to the top as well, if it cooperates with me. But you can drag that order around on all of these apps. So that's probably the easiest way to get to Google Chat. There are some things that we can do that will trigger an email. And then in your email, it'll say, "Hey, we've got Google Chat that you need to go check out." But the most reliable way, and to see all your messages and all your pieces is just click on Google Chat. Now you do have the option, 'cause I'm using the online Google Chat, there is a download. So if it does it, when you log into Google Chat for the first time, it'll give you the option to download Google Chat to the device. And if it doesn't, what you can do is go up here to the install, Google Chat. Now this Install Google Chat will install it to the device that you're on. So if you're on iPhone, MacBook, laptop computer, doesn't matter, if you want to install the Google Chat, it'll install it. It's the same functionality that we have online and the same login, same password. So as far as functionality, the one that's in your login is exactly the same as the one that's on the online. So really, really simple. And you know, some people like having that button on their desktop. And if you're one of those people, do the install. Put the bug on your desktop or the bug on the bottom in your task bar. If that's what you need to do, that's what you would do is just download it from there. Okay, so this has been a basic overview of Google Chat. In the next video, we'll get into some functionality that we have to use to Admin panel for.
