How can I chat with my team inside of Jira?

[Shay Singh]

Hi, is there any way to have a Chat (with my team) right inside of Jira itself? I seem to be able to find no way for this, and it seems absurd to me that this feature doesn't exist.. So I just wanted to ask here if there is an option that I'm not aware of..?

I would love to be able to chat with my team on a board area or somewhere around Dashboard maybe. Is there any way? Please note that I'm not talking about "comments" under the tasks. I mean actual chat. Thank you!

@Shay Singh  Welcome to the community!

There was HipChat from Atlassian to solve this problem, but it was discontinued in favor of better chat applications like Slack. Even Altassian uses Slack for team communication.

There is pretty good integration available for every major Chat application with Jira.

Hi @DPKJ

Thank you for your answer. I have tried the Slack integrations and found that I'm only able to receive notifications about my Jira tasks in Slack, but I cannot chat on Slack INSIDE of Jira platform itself. 

I have also not been able to find any apps or integrations that fulfill this purpose. Can you please correct me if I'm wrong..? Perhaps you could provide some links to some integrations that you consider will suit my needs..? Thank you!

Jira is not a service architected for chat.  I'm not aware of any app that would insert itself inside Jira just to expose a Slack (or other) client as part of it.

@Shay Singh  I also don't have any good suggestion but quick search on Marketplace resulted this app - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220613/grape-chat-connector-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview

Do check this out, if it helps.
