(I'm a Googler, opinions are my own. I don't work on chat apps).

Hangouts Chat will sync with classic Hangouts, as called out on this page[0]. Copy/paste of that text here:

>How will this interact with the older version of Hangouts, the one that lives in my Gmail?

>To help make your chat experience seamless, all your Chat conversations will sync with your classic Hangouts experience.

Though to be clear, it's 1-to-1 chats that sync between the 2. So migration for existing companies will be much easier.

Hangouts can barely sync with itself. Does anyone really expect it to sync properly with the shiny new thing?
