Team Channel
A team channel is a topic-scoped thread inside an organization’s chat — pin announcements, share project updates, and tag teammates with @ mentions.
In depth
Channels live under an organization slug and have their own settings, members, and message history. Use them to keep a project’s discussion separate from the firehose of the default channel.
