About Slack
Slack is designed for teams seeking seamless communication and collaboration. With Huddles, users can initiate audio or video calls directly within Slack, allowing quick, informal meetings without switching platforms. The feature enhances productivity by integrating communication into the same workspace, helping teams stay connected and efficient.
Slack offers a free version limited to two participants per Huddle. Paid plans allow up to 50 users, with added features for enhanced collaboration.

Unique features like emoji reactions and background customization enhance the user experience, making interactions lively and engaging while keeping everything organized in one place.
How Slack works
Users begin by accessing Slack, where they can instantly start a Huddle from a channel or direct message. The process is simple: click the headphones icon to initiate an audio-only conversation, then enhance collaboration by activating video, sharing screens, and messaging in the Huddle thread, ensuring seamless connectivity throughout.
