How is it organized?

All conversations happen in rooms. A room is where all the members of the team can work together – share files, ideas, discuss projects, tasks, make video meetings, etc.

You can create chat rooms divided by team, project, client, etc. Share your ideas in a public room or use a private room for targeted discussions. Share rooms with companies and businesses you regularly work with.

You can also have a one-to-one chat with any team member by selecting a “Direct message” in his profile overview.

How can I know if a message has been read?

When someone has read a message his avatar is displayed to the right of the message. To know the user’s info and reading time just hover over the avatar or click on it on mobile app.
