Hot on the heels of our last big release, we have some cool new features in our latest update to tell you about.

YouTube, Twitter, CloudApp link previews

YouTube and Twitter link previews

When you share a link in a room to a YouTube video or Twitter message/account, we now automatically show a preview inline under the link. We use this to help us keep track of what people are saying about HipChat in our ‘PR’ room. We also added previews for images shared through the CloudApp service (which we’re big fans of).

What else would you like to see previews of? Add a comment or contact us.

When you’re in a one-to-one conversation with someone you’ll now see a notification of when that person is typing. Happy chatting!
