Here’s how to remove chat from the Gmail sidebar
Tired of seeing that awkward chat window on the left side of Gmail? There are many reasons to get rid of it.
Maybe you have Google Talk installed, maybe you don’t like instant messaging, or maybe you use a different service.
How to Remove Chat from the Gmail Sidebar
- Log in to Gmail as you normally would.
- Click the Gear (settings) button at the top-right of the window.
- Select Settings.
- Click the Chat tab and select the Chat Off bullet option.
- Scroll down to the bottom and Save Changes.
Now Gmail will no longer pester you with annoying chat requests and you’ll have that much more room on your sidebar.
If you are working on a smaller screen, this is quite a gratification. The only downside is that you won’t be able to make Voice Calls via Google Voice anymore, but you can still install the Google Voice extension and send text messages.
