Listen and reply to 8x8 Work messages hands-free? OK, Google!

  • 1.  Listen and reply to 8x8 Work messages hands-free? OK, Google!

    When my family and I got our new Rav4 at the end of last year, one of the things I was most looking forward to was using Android Auto and taking advantage of the in-car display to have more control of my phone, apps, and communications. Being able to field and reply to cellular texts was great and all, but the 8x8 Work apps are where all the action really takes place for me. It was already cool to see notifications of incoming Work messages on the Rav display. But the added support for listening and replying to IM and SMS messages has been a game-changer. It even works for room messages, in addition to one-on-one conversations.
    8x8 Work for Mobile message notification on 2021 Rav4 display. Chat room name deliberately obscured.
    And since it works exactly like any other Android Auto-compatible messaging app, there's virtually no learning curve. I also enjoy that my 5-year-old still finds it hi-LAR-ious when I talk to "invisible people" in the car, lol.

    Do you use hands-free messaging in your car? Let us know why or why not below!
