Chat with your team in Channels
Open a team channel, read what colleagues posted, and write to the whole team.
Open Channels in the menu. Each channel is a team chat room; the red number counts the messages you have not read. Click one to read it, and write in the box at the bottom: Enter or the arrow posts it to everyone in the channel.
