Coworking in huddles

Huddles recreate the quick and informal discussions you’d have in the office right in Slack. Whether you're working remotely, in the office, or a mix of both, we've added several new features to help teams collaborate in an entirely new space for coworking.

Someone starts a huddle in a Slack channel, turns their video on, then opens the huddle in a new window

What you can do 

  • Turn on  video (or stay audio-only if you'd like).
  • Open a huddle in a  new window to use Slack and other tools at the same time. 
  • Start a  dedicated thread for notes that automatically saves to the channel.
  • Help everyone follow along with  multi-person screen sharing
  • Set a  topic so others know what's being discussed or pick a custom background to match the mood of your meeting.
  • Keep conversations lively with  emojis, reactions and stickers


Try it out

Follow the steps below to start a huddle in any conversation:

  1. Open a channel or DM. 
  2. Select the  headphones toggle in the bottom left corner of your sidebar.
  3. Click the  camera icon to turn on your video, or click the  window icon to see a larger view of the huddle.
