Stadia introduces instant messaging
Both the web version and the Android application of Stadia introduce this message section. From here you will be able to chat with your friends and family without leaving the platform. When you start using this feature, you are first asked to set up your privacy, to determine who can and cannot send you messages. Once configured, it is now possible to send messages.
Users are given the ability to send messages in individual chats as well as in group chats. In addition, when you now see a user’s profile, you enter the possibility to send a message. Google has also improved the user profiles with more information, although each one will be able to configure if they want others to be able to see it.
In addition, Stadia’s Android application also allows the sharing of screenshots or audio clips, only instead of sharing the file itself, a link will be shared. The video captures now include the audio of the chat voice, this means that now our voice will appear in our recordings, in addition to the rest of the players.
The deployment of these functions is already taking place in the new version of the application for Android. The new version of the application can be downloaded from the Play Store, at the following link:
