In-line replies now available within announcement spaces in Google Chat

What’s changing

Earlier this year, we introduced the ability for space managers to configure spaces for sharing organizational announcements. While these announcement spaces aim to facilitate one-way controlled communication in Google Chat, we’re adding an optional in-line reply feature that will enable members of a space to respond to or discuss an announcement.

Getting started

• Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. 
• End users: For newly created announcement spaces, the in-line reply feature is the default for all members. In existing announcement spaces, the in-line reply feature is the default for space managers only. To enable or disable this setting, space managers can go to the space menu > space settings > permissions > “Reply to messages” > select “All members” or “Space managers only”. Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing your space settings, creating an announcement space and your role as a space manager.
