Up to 50 people can meet at once in a Slack huddle. You can start a huddle in a conversation at a specific time for everyone to join, or copy the link to a huddle and add it to a calendar invite.
Before the meeting
Start a huddle
Copy a huddle link
From your desktop, open the channel where you'd like to huddle.
Click the headphones icon.
Your huddle will start automatically, and members of your channel will see a message in the channel with a button to join.
Tip: As people join from their computer or mobile device, they can turn their video on or keep it off. And up to two people at a time can share their screen.
From your desktop, open the channel where you'd like to huddle.
Click the arrow next to the headphones icon.
Select Copy huddle link.
Add the link to a calendar invite, or post a message in the channel letting your team know when you’ll be meeting along with the link.
During the meeting
Chat in a thread
Take notes
Once a huddle starts, participants can use the dedicated thread for sharing links, side conversations, and more.
When the huddle starts, the thread will automatically open in the main huddle window.
Send a message to greet people as they join, then share the agenda, links to slides, or other relevant content.
To show or hide the thread, click the thread icon in the bottom right corner of the huddle.
You can take notes right in the huddle thread, or use a canvas. Here’s how:
Create a new canvas to keep all of your meeting notes in a separate place. Then, share the canvas in the huddle thread.
To take notes in the channel canvas instead, click the canvas icon in the huddle window.
Jot down notes. Multiple people can edit a canvas at the same time, so you can have more than one notetaker if you’d like.
Note: Standalone canvases are only available on paid plans. Canvases in conversations (both channels and direct messages) are available on all plans.
After the meeting
Once the huddle ends, the thread will stay in the channel or DM (alongside the message letting people know the huddle started). If you took notes in a canvas, add it to the thread by clicking the thread icon or bookmark the link so it’s easy to find next time.
