| Capability Summary | Lets you open Share Group Chat from a group chat window, then copy a group link or save a QR code image for sharing. | Microsoft Teams supports sharing a community join link, and QR code joining is available on Android and iOS. | Google Chat Spaces can be shared by link so people in the organization can join a shareable space. | Notion supports inviting people, copying page links, and publishing pages, but it focuses on page and workspace sharing. | Adobe Acrobat supports sharing PDF links for document distribution, not native group chat invitations. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS places both the group link and QR code image in one sharing panel, which is convenient for desktop collaboration. | Compared with WPS: official guidance focuses on communities or teams, and QR code joining is mainly described for mobile use. | Compared with WPS: sharing is centered on space links, and joining depends on space access settings. | Compared with WPS: sharing is built around pages, permissions, and workspace access rather than live group chat. | Compared with WPS: sharing is document-based and does not provide a group member join flow. |

Overall Conclusion
