Once you create a workspace, you can invite team members. Then, you can great channels.

Channels:
Channels in slack are great for organizing your teams based on different topics.
There are plenty of channel settings that you can activate to make sure you stay on top of conversations inside of that channel.
You can also make channels public or private.

Direct Messages:

Video and audio calls:
Inside of conversations, you can set up voice calls or video calls.

OK I decided to watch this video because I thought I didn’t know how to use slack. But this is just like discord, which is just a freaking message board that you can chat video call or make calls! 🤦🏾‍♀️ ayiyiyi this must’ve been created by gen Zr who thought they had a new idea 😂
