How to choose Team Communication tools
Start with the way your team already works. A simple chat tool may be enough, while teams handling projects, meetings, or private systems may need a broader setup.
- 01 of 03
Keep everyday conversations simple
For team messaging, focus on where coworkers can share updates without changing their usual work too much. Connections to the services they already use can make that choice clearer.
- Google Chat suits teams that already work with Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Google Meet.
- Slack brings project conversations into a workspace that connects with services such as Google Drive, Jira, Microsoft 365, and Zoom.
- Microsoft Teams combines team chat with video meetings and task management.

Bring projects and calls together
When conversations often turn into assignments or calls, project communication and video meetings can live in the same tool. This reduces the need to move between separate places.
