Chat rooms are flexible enough to allow the free flow of ideas and external data so that the entire team or even department can collaborate on the same project without missing a beat. HipChat can be used for one-on-one conversations or it can be opened up for group chats to include all team members. HipChat supports a wide range of OS including Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS,desktop, and more. Some of the more popular features of HipChat include a searchable history, which lets you browse through your chats to find relevant information, as well as image sharing capabilities (which is a simple, drag and drop process). This keeps all correspondences private in general but public to the people who you choose to be a part of the conversation. HipChat is a service that provides companies with a chat and text-messaging platform that they can run internally.
