Add people to a channel
Slack organizes conversations into dedicated spaces called channels. Add people to channels to bring the right people and information in your workspace together in one place (for people outside your company, learn how to use Slack Connect to invite them to a channel).
Add people to a channel
You can add up to 1,000 people to a channel at once. For large groups, we recommend copying a list of full names or email addresses from another channel in Slack or another service before following the steps below. If email addresses are hidden in member profiles, you won't be able to add people to channels using email addresses.
Tip: To help onboard new members, owners and admins can set default channels for them to automatically join.
