What’s changing
We're making it quicker and easier to find and use your favorite apps and actions in Google Chat with a redesigned integrations menu that lets you search for apps and execute commands with fewer clicks. The menu is accessible through the "+" button next to the compose bar or by typing "/". For example, you can now simply type "/poll" to start a Poll using the Poll app, or press the “+” button and see options to create a calendar invite, upload a Drive file, send a Meet link, or more.

Rollout pace
