We were very early on testers of Gmail in the enterprise. Its good, but still has a bumpy ride for new users. And not enough support for general management of your mail and communications complexity. . Will this help or will it just further complicate it?
The Gmail app will soon make voice and video calls
Gmail is quickly becoming Google's do-it-all app.

Google is keen to make Gmail your go-to hub for more than just messages. As The Verge noted, Google is rolling out a larger Workspace update (more on that shortly) that will add direct calling via Google Meet to the Gmail mobile app. You'll get to ring up your coworkers and other contacts for a quick one-on-one when email or a scheduled meeting won't do. The feature will also send a "chip" to your computer if you'd rather answer on the larger screen.
The company has pitched the feature as a rough equivalent to "spontaneous" office chats in a hybrid work environment where some staff are at home. And before you ask — yes, the Meet app will eventually add this calling feature as well. .. '
