According to Google, starting <strong>September 1, 2020<\/strong>, Gmail on the web will become a centralized location for your communication and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gmail will now feature four distinct components:<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mail<\/li><li>Chat<\/li><li>Rooms<\/li><li>Meet<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Chat, Meet, and Mail <strong>will not change<\/strong>, and you can continue to use them without interruption. However, Google Chat rooms <strong>will change<\/strong> and become their own space separate from Google Chat, where you can chat, share files and tasks, and collaborate on documents without leaving Gmail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important<\/strong>: You will continue to have access to Google <a href=\"http:\/\/chat.google.com\">Chat<\/a>, <a
