How to Add a Google Chat Shortcut in Venn

*for the SD: please make sure that the employee needing Google Chat is either added as a user to the Google Chat app in Venn Workplace or is a member of a Group added to the app.

Install the Google Chat standalone app.

• first check if the Google Chat app is installed on your computer.
• open a web browser OUTSIDE of Venn and go to chat.google.com
• sign in using your PDI Gmail credentials if asked
• once signed in, go to the upper right corner of the page and check if there is a download button.

• If the button instead looks similar to below, most likely you already have the Google Chat app installed.

Add Google Chat to your Launch apps.

• On the left pane of the Venn window, click on Apps
• Look for Google Chat from the list of available apps and click on the Star to add it to your Launch dashboard.
