Steve, I watch many of your videos and I REALLY find it valuable when you point out the bells and whistles of free vs paid versions. Thank you

What a wonderful presentation. We're still in the development phase of our project, but it's been great these past few days to know that there will come a time when we understand how to grow within this extraordinary tool of communication.

Great intro to Slack. My team all went live with Slack in the autumn 2019 after we watched a previous video. It’s revolutionised our team esp while we are all remote working during the pandemic. So useful and remarkably everyone has got on board with it. Thanks for inspiring us!

Steve, I enjoy learning with you and have been following you for quite some time. Thank you! We are a small nonprofit for Mental Health. New to Slack and your explanation was clear and very useful. I am going to send it to my team. Something useful for my bilingual team will be anything that has to do with podcasting and video production in relation to using Slack. Thanks.

Hi Steve and team, thanks for sharing this video. Our very small nonprofit organization is finding Slack invaluable now while working remotely, and will continue to use it once back in our office space. We find it of particular value in project management using the channels, as well as diverting us from the dreaded email chat. The ability to integrate G drive is amazing, and helps to eliminate searching through the drive or email for links.

Awesome introduction to Slack. I had never heard of Slack until it was referenced in an IT course I'm taking, so I set out to investigate. Nice to find a platform that just presents the facts without trying to trash any other similar apps. Wonderful to have someone who loves tech and makes communicating it interesting, shows the everyday uses of the tech and whose enthusiasm is down right contagious. Hello from a fellow BC, Canada resident.

Thanks for the video, Steve. I was introduced to Slack via a gaming community which uses it for communications. It is a fantastic tool for communication and productivity for different kinds of teams. Being able to set up private and public channels is a great feature so comms can be kept on a need-to-know/be involved basis.

You explain things so clearly, regardless of what program you are teaching. Slack is still a bit confusing , primarily the list of the left side of the screen, so I'll look for any other KZfaq videos you've done since this original video.

I am the admin of a slack workplace. A member of the workplace created a channel. The channel is not listed in my channel list in the sidebar. I had to search for the channel and then add it to my list of channels. Why is the channel created by a member not automatically added to the list of channels? Again, I am the admin of the workplace. Thank you for your help and the great tutorials you offer.

Thanks, Steve. Great overview and love the timestamps. We use SLACK with our team to stay connected when we're not together. I just added this video to our orientation and also integrated Twitter and Zoom. Questions: is there a way to set-up Zoom so only part of the team (or one channel) has access? And is search specific to a channel or conversation? I haven't found it as useful as you indicated.
