Chat adds huddles in its latest attempt to be like Discord and Slack

Chat? Basically, huddles are meant to replace those quick conversations you could have in person while passing by someone’s desk or waiting to enter a meeting. Instead of scheduling an audio or video call, you can click on the phone icon in a chat and choose “start a huddle.” This will create a space in the chat where you can quickly talk. As usual, you can also change it to a video call within the meeting.

Again, this feature will be very familiar for anyone who has used platforms like Discord or Slack in the past. It will be available in one-on-one and group messages, as well as spaces. Anyone with a rapid release domain can expect to get it by December 20, while users with scheduled release domains will start seeing huddles on January 6.
