Matrix -> Gchat pinging does not work

[bocekm]

When messaging in in a gchat space using Matrix, I select a person as @<name> (googlechat) hoping that the person would get notified in the official gchat client. But what appears in the official gchat client is just a plain text <name> (googlechat) and the person is not notified.

Seems to be working fine for me, matrix mentions turns into mentions on google chat (with the caveat that the name suffix isn't removed)

Web-based Element:

Official web-based Google Chat client:

I'm using Element version: 1.10.4, Olm version: 3.2.8. Isn't there a way to tweak the client or server to make it work?

What does the message look like on Matrix? The event source might also be relevant

I've updated the previous comment to include gchat screenshots.
