Yandex Messenger is a secure corporate messenger with a familiar interface. We've combined important messenger functions and added the features necessary for working in any business, such as inviting teams or departments to a group chat. It's easier to work on projects when all your work contacts are in one place, and chats with family and friends don't distract you from your tasks. • There's no more confusion between business and personal messages. No one else can read your chats: all Yandex Messenger data stays inside the company, allowing you to work more efficiently with NDA material. • Quickly search for colleagues by name: company employees will automatically appear in Yandex Messenger from the company's contact book. • You can create groups and individual channels, such as for company news, and then immediately add the necessary department. • Messages can be marked "important", so you can quickly find them in a separate list. • Send emojis, stickers, and reactions to messages that won't interfere with the dialogue. • Yandex Messenger saves chats from Telemost, so you can check notes made during video conferences. • Anonymous and public surveys are available with the option to export the results as a file. • Audio messages are automatically transcribed as text.
