Since last year, Google has been discussing turning Gmail, the company's most popular email service, into a powerful communications and workstation with the introduction of chat, video calling and Documentation features. In today's announcement on the official Keyword website, marks the launch of the "New Gmail".

Google has decided for starters to keep the new feature off for the majority of users. If you have not been selected by the company as part of the experiment, chances are you will not see the new Gmail interface.

However, you can activate it and test it, as long as you turn on the appropriate switch on of Gmail. Let's see how:

1. Open your Gmail in a browser.
2. Select the gear icon to display settings, and then click "View all settings".
3. Go to Discussions and Meetings.
4. To activate the new Gmail interface, select Google chat next to Chat, and then select Save changes.
Για να απενεργοποιήσετε τη νέα διεπαφή Gmail, αποεπιλέξτε το google chat και θέστε το Απενεργοποίηση ή το Google (αν το χρησιμοποιούσατε).

Returning to the Gmail homepage, the new Gmail interface loads immediately and launches a small user guide for the new service.

After the guide you can see two new spaces on the left, the Chats and Rooms. Discussions are the main one and Rooms allows you to join chat rooms.

Google has improved the integration of the Document service. If someone posts a link in a document, you can now open it "in conversation" to display it right away. This does not work at the moment in some cases, such as e.g. if you have received a link in an email or a chat pop-up.

Gmail users can change their status in the new interface, with the switch in the upper right corner. With a click on it, it shows options for en from “automatic” to “do not disturb” and “set off”.

There you can also turn off notifications, e.g. to play a sound when a new message arrives.

Briefly:
Gmail users who do not want the new interface can easily disable it and those who want to try it can get started even if they have not been selected by the company.
It remains to be seen how long this option will be available. With the fullness of the new feature, it seems likely that Google is going to promote the new functionality in Gmail.
