Stony Brook University Gmail's chat will switch from classic Hangouts to Google Chat July 15th, 2020. 

Group messages from classic Hangouts do not migrate into Google Chat. If you have a Group message, one person from the Group should recreate it as a Room (or as another Group Message) and add the group members.

When you create the Room, you can even check the box to allow Google Accounts from outside Stony Brook University to join the Room (including @gmail.com accounts).

check box to allow those outside organization to join room
