Teams Channels

Learn about teams and channels

Creation of a Team creates a channel

Every team that gets created, gets one channel created called "General".

Channels are where the work actually gets done—where text, audio, and video conversations open to the whole team happen, where files are shared, and where apps are added.

While channel conversations are public, chats are just between you and someone else (or a group of people). Think of them like instant messages in Skype for Business or other messaging apps.
