HipChat was a web service for internal private online chat and instant messaging. As well as one-on-one and group/topic chat, it also featured cloud-based file storage, video calling, searchable message-history and inline-image viewing. The software was available to download onto computers running Windows, Mac or Linux, as well as Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.[1][2] Since 2014, HipChat used a freemium model, as much of the service was free with some additional features requiring organizations to pay per month.[3] HipChat was launched in 2010 and acquired by Atlassian in 2012. In September 2017, Atlassian replaced the cloud-based HipChat with a new cloud product called Stride, with HipChat continuing on as the client-hosted HipChat Data Center.[4]
In July 2018, Atlassian announced a partnership with Slack under which Slack would acquire the codebase and related IP assets of HipChat and Stride from Atlassian.[5] Following this, HipChat and Stride customers were migrated to the Slack group collaboration platform in a transition that was completed by February 2019.[5][6]
