Facebook Officially Launches ‘Workplace Chat’ Mobile and Desktop Apps

Facebook launches Workplace Chat desktop app and will roll out group video chat soon, says 30K organizations use Workplace and that 1M groups have been created 

Introducing Workplace Chat

This past year, we shipped new features to help companies better work together: multi-company groups, live video chat, group analytics and more. Increasingly, we’ve found that many customers rely on messaging for real-time, reliable communication.

Messaging has always been a key component of the Workplace experience. But we wanted to make it even easier for people to work together in real-time, both on the go and at their desks.
So today, we’re launching the Workplace Chat desktop app. Now, anyone can download the app for Workplace Chat on PC, Mac, Android or iOS.

We envision Workplace as an employee’s command center for everything that’s happening with their team, their company, and their industry. To accomplish this, companies use a combination of Workplace features to best fit how they work – groups for teamwork, video for storytelling, and integrations like Box and Office365 for everyday work. Now, we’re offering a messaging-focused experience through Workplace Chat, both on desktop and mobile.
