Chat
Members can continue real-time communication needed for collaboration not only in channels but also more closely and freely in chat spaces. Just like channels, each message in a chat space can be utilized as a thread through comments. The basis for messages and comments is text, but various forms of content including attachments or external data links can also be included.
What is a chat?
