[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Get the most out of threads and channels with tips for clear and organized communication. Start a new topic using the Compose box. Add a title and share a short and clear message to help others quickly identify the topic when scanning the channel. Mention people, groups, or channels to get attention. Always reply in thread to keep related messages grouped together. When an important update is made, send it back to the main conversation to keep everyone aligned. Use emojis to convey action, status, or follow-ups. A checkmark can mean done, helping others catch up in a glance and keep the discussion tidy. When you have your meetings in a channel, it becomes a thread with chat and notes. And when you share a file in a thread, it's saved in the Files tab for easy access. Threads make collaboration more efficient and focused.
