Slack Channel search: how to find it

Slack is a messenger service that specializes in meeting the needs of businesses and work groups. The messenger is designed for users to communicate in groups called channels. Each user can only see the channels to which they have been added. You can search your channels using a feature.

How to find a channel in Slack

In the messenger service Slack, users can work on projects in channels. The messenger was developed for companies and therefore primarily supports work in project groups. Within the groups, users can communicate with each other, but do not see the private cell phone numbers of the other participants. This promotes privacy and enables the use of a messenger service even within the framework of the new General Data Protection Regulation. Users can create channels in Slack and then add individual participants to these channels. If you are a member of very many channels, this can become somewhat confusing. This is where the search function comes in handy. You can use it to quickly find and open specific channels. If you don't find a channel you are looking for, you may have been removed. In that case, contact the administrator of your project so that you can be added again.
