Forget about your email inbox. Slack is your workspace that connects you with the people and tools you work with everyday, no matter where you are or what you do. With Slack you get the best of both worlds – powerful collaboration and messaging features combined with the simplicity and flexibility of a modern chat client.
What is Slack?
Slack is a free instant messaging and collaboration software used by millions of teams and companies all over the world. It is one of the most useful and versatile pieces of software that you can use to improve your team communication, collaboration and workflow.
It is an easy-to-use, real-time messaging and collaboration platform. It is also known as a chat room and works like a group chat, allowing you to message, talk, and collaborate with anyone on your team. All communication happens through text messages and there is no need to sign up for an account.
Slack has two main areas:
Work
where you communicate and work on the project with your team.
Everything else
The rest of your day, your personal life.
Your Team Workspace
Each person in your team has their own space in Slack. In a team of 10 people you can have up to 1,000 people in a single workspace. Each space has a ‘name’ or title assigned to it which makes it easy to keep track of the space as you move between teams.
With Slack you can easily add and remove users from your team. Each user has the ability to create a public or private channel, invite other people to join the channel, add and delete files and folders in the channel, and add and remove themselves from the channel.
The beauty of Slack is that you can easily switch between channels, which means that you can talk to your team about any topic without interrupting the conversation.
All your conversations stay in the same channel which makes it easy to stay focused and stay on task.
You also get a notification every time someone sends you a message. This makes it easy to respond immediately.
Slack can be used across any device. Whether you are at your desk, on the bus, at a coffee shop, or at the beach, you can easily connect with your team.
Slack is free to use and you can install it on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Slack also comes with a web client that you can use to access your workspace and the rest of your day from any web browser.
