Pick a Team and Channel

A team is a collection of people, conversations, files, and tools—all in one place. A channel is a discussion in a team, dedicated to a department, project, or topic.

The best way to get familiar with teams and channels is to pick a team and channel and start exploring!

1. Click Teams on the left side of the app and then pick a team. If you're not on a team and want to create one, see Onboard your teams.
