FAQ
Team Chat questions
Who can see my messages in a public channel?
Anyone in your organization with chat access. Private channels are only visible to members you invited.
Can I delete a message I sent?
Yes. Open the message's action menu and choose delete. People who already saw it may have read it before you removed it.
Can I edit a message after sending?
Yes. Open the action menu on your own message and choose edit. Other participants see an 'edited' indicator.
How do I leave a channel?
Open the channel's options and find the leave option. You can rejoin a public channel anytime; for a private channel, a member has to invite you back.
Will I get notified for every message?
You get notifications for direct messages, mentions, and replies to your threads. Channel messages without a mention are quieter by default — open the channel's notification settings to change this.
Can I integrate with Slack?
Team Chat is a built-in alternative — most teams use one or the other. Mirroring isn't supported.
Are messages searchable?
Yes — full-text search across channels and DMs you have access to.
Where do shared files live?
Files attached to messages are stored in your organization's storage and counted against your storage quota.
