title: "Google Talk Shutdown"
date: 2022-05-16T17:16:43-05:00
As of 2022-06-16 Google is shutting down third party client access to
[Google Talk](https://support.google.com/talk). This has been in the works for
a long time and is expected. Unfortunately they did not provide a time nor a
time zone, so who knows exactly when it's going to be shut down...
If you would like to continue talking to your Google Contacts you'll need to

do or see our [contact]({{< ref "/contact.md" >}}) page.
