Can you make an option to play a video like i can play whatsapp voice messages?

for instance when the phone is not near me

i guess something so when i hit play it sends a link to chrome and play the video

It would be nice if the "return" button in the SMS view would hide (maybe just a little symbol next to refresh/settings). It can be a hassle with it there. Below is the view of a text I received. I cannot scroll up or down, since there is only on page. So that means (unless I've missed something, and that is entirely possible) that there is no way to see the contents of this text?

Cheers,

At least on the new Nvidia Shield TV 2 its really hard to navigate.

The remote wont work, and the gamepad wont show a mouse cursor inside Join.

Please allow to assign colours  to the share icons. It's easier to distinguish multiple devices of the same kind. Same could be done for the device list in the join as well

I would like to be able to send messages to my home server.

I think a reasonable way to do that would be to publish an spec for a service to recieve messages via a web hook. I would then be able to register the url to the webhook as a device and Join could get/post a payload (according to the spec) to that url.

The rest is up to me then.

Using Join can really clutter up the recent files list making it unusable. I've been getting around this by using stars and search in Drive but recent comes in really handy.

This could be done by using an Application Data folder in Drive. https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/appdata

If I have the Win10 app open, any SMS message I receive automatically gets dismissed on the device. Sometimes I'm not near the computer, and want to see what the notification is, and poof, it's gone!

I'm on a Galaxy S7, using Nougat, and the Android Messages app by Google.

You can reply to an existing group text thread, but you can't create a new one on the chrome extension -- it only lets you select one contact.

when join is broken out of chrome (on my PC) and is the active window (in focus), dont flash a notification...  example, when I am on the notification screen viewing notifications, it is annoying when a new notification popup flashes on top...  also, when I am on the sms screen engaged in an SMS conversations, it is annoying when a popup flashes notification of a new message received from the same person I am texting.  also, when I am typing, if a new message comes in, the popup interrupts my typing when the notification flashes and shifts focus off the SMS

It would be cool if i could set a timer via join

I love popping out the chrome extension on my home and work computer, and I can quickly message from there without getting my phone out.

But then I forget to close the extension.  When the extension is open, notifications are automatically dismissed on my phone.

Would be nice to be able to press something on my phone to close all open chrome extensions on other devices. 

Or perhaps an option on the phone to never auto-dismiss SMS, even when dismissed from chrome extension.

when I have more than 10 tabs open it is a pain to share everything to another devices

I would like group MMS conversations to assign different colors for the other member of the conversation. Currently my bubbles are white and everyone else's is the same orange. I would like a different color for each person.

This way, I can quickly disable it, instead of having to manually find it in the phone app every time.

Would like to sync on my own server rather than Google's. Perhaps you can enable webdav sync, or individual services like Dropbox, Nextcloud (which I have), onedrive etc. Perhaps webdav is easiest first though. Thanks for the great app so far!

Some time i left my android wacht charging or tablet or phone and don't realise when they are charged. Cause all devices send an pop up message that they are full charged it would be wonderful to resend this pop ups through devices .then if I'm using another device i can unplug the charged device. Very usefully. Thanx for considering

If I'm sending an SMS remotely via the Chrome app and my phone is somehow not reachable, the messages will vanish and not show up at all. But once my phone does become available again, those messages will finally send, even if it has been hours and will finally show up.

It'd be nice if messages that were pending still showed up and did not vanish like this and were able to be cancelled before actually sending if in this unsent state.
