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...
