How NextPlane OpenHub Works

OpenHub seamlessly connects Microsoft Teams and Google Chat through secure, real-time message sync using proxy guest accounts.

API-Driven Interoperability

OpenHub utilizes secure APIs to establish a live connection between Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace, enabling uninterrupted, real-time collaboration.

Proxy-Based Architecture Using Free Guest Accounts

Each user is mirrored across platforms:

  • Google Workspace users appear in Teams as Internal Guest accounts
  • Teams users appear in Google Chat as Google Cloud Identity Free users
This guest-based proxy model ensures seamless, native communication without requiring paid cross-platform licenses.

Real-Time Sync Engine

Messages sent in Teams or Google Chat are instantly reflected through proxy user accounts—ensuring native, synchronized conversations across platforms, with no toggling or message loss.

Easy Configuration & Governance

Deployment takes just hours, and OpenHub is managed via Teams and Google Admin consoles without a need for a NextPlane management portal.
