This change has been updated with our certificate registrar, and SLACK TECHNOLOGIES, LLC is the valid and correct publisher for new versions of Slack. If you’re suddenly seeing Slack being flagged by anti-virus software, the new binary and publisher name may need to be allowlisted by your company’s security policies.

They say it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. In this case, we’d like to beg forgiveness for repeatedly asking permission. Curious to learn more?

• Trying to capture your screen with a third-party app while also sharing your screen in Slack may have resulted in the non-Slack app crashing. We’d like to say that this was because the idea of “capture” is antithetical to “sharing,” but in truth it was just a “bug.”

• You may have noticed that with this release there’s a new, larger number at the end of the version string. Going forward, while you’ll still see the numbers laid out in a <MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD> sequence, the “Build” numbers will now correspond to specific builds on our end as opposed to a small sequential number. TL;DR: A few more numbers for you, a bit more specificity for everyone.
• We’ve added the most common Apple and Microsoft file extensions to our approved list so you won’t be asked to confirm each time you open a Word doc or Keynote presentation. Are you sure you’d like one less approval? YES/NO
• If you’re in a locale that does not use the default system string encoding on Mac, opening certain file types would cause a crash in a native dependency that tries to interpret a string passed to it as the system default string encoding. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, well don’t worry because we fixed it.

• We discovered that under very specific circumstances (stars being aligned, barometric pressure being just so, looking in a mirror and saying “Slackbot” 3 times), Active Directory users were ending up with a backslash in their Home directory, which was preventing the app from launching. However it happened, all slashes are welcome at the party, so Slack will run as expected now.

• If you've been wanting to use a virtual camera on a video call in Slack, well, now you can! Plug in a custom video feed from your computer, or use a fancy digital camera for crystal clear picture. Daguerreotypes and hand-cranked movie cameras are not supported as input sources at this time.
• We discovered that when an update to the app failed, people were still being notified that the update was a success. There is a time and place for “fake it ‘til you make it,” but this was not one of them.

• Those on MacOS 12 reported that notification sounds were still coming through despite Notification Sounds being set to “None.” We have updated the internal logic to the more explicit “None, not under any circumstances, not even if it’s very important, never, not once, nil, absolutely not.” We hope it takes the hint.
• Some external URLs were occasionally launching within the Slack app window, but will now load in your default web browser, as is proper. Slack cannot have a little web page, even as a treat.

• We were occasionally displaying a message letting you know you had been removed from the desktop beta. However, some of you had never been part of the beta in the first place. We will no longer remind you of things that you are not, or when it is not your birthday, or when there is no update to the app.

• When opening SSH, FTP, SFTP or SMB links, you’ll now see the option to allow all future URLs from just that same domain instead of the whole wide world. A little more secure for us, a little more peace of mind for you.
• Certain versions of the app were not correctly changing availability to “Away” after 10 minutes of inactivity. While this has been fixed, we’d like to remind you that you can use your Custom Status to let your teammates know your whereabouts beyond simply Active or Away. Examples include: walking the dog, catching up after PTO, taking a mental break, or tweeting nice things to the Slack social media team.

• Certain menus were not being properly translated when switching languages in the app. You know what they say about menus — they’re most helpful when you can read them.
• When the app was told to launch on login but remain hidden, it took those instructions a little too seriously, playing hide-and-seek when it should not. That which was hidden was sought, and the app window will now politely reveal itself when you want.

• Depending on your zoom level, we weren’t always showing the password field when authorizing the use of a proxy. This, by proxy, made for an unpleasant overall experience within Slack.
• Images and notifications were sometimes sharing real estate...inelegantly. We have given them both a talking-to, and they have agreed to joint custody of that section of the screen.

• In the Mac app, certain error screens made it very hard to find the part of the window that allowed you to click and drag. To be fair, entire genres of computer games have been built around hard-to-find click targets. Slack, however, is not a game of this genre — so we’ve made the clickable area a bit wider.

• We improved the restart experience when you’ve gone offline or are having loading issues.
• We all have to sign out sometimes. If you sign out of all of your workspaces, you should have an easier time signing back in.
• Hopefully you’ll be able to ask “Can you see my screen?” a little less these days. The green border that lets you know you’re screen sharing is back.

• Updates mean that Big Sur is totally supported in a very holistic, west coast, chill way. It’s, like, totally gnarly. Or sick! Whichever means “good”, basically.
• Sometimes, you could not exit full screen mode with escape on windows, which was wrong, because that’s literally what escape means. Now, it works.
• We fixed some issues that caused window resizing of Slack to be difficult. We never want to be difficult.
• Quickly switching workspaces caused problems. Switching workspaces should only cause opportunities, so we fixed that.
• There were a few little bugs that caused crashes, like bugs do. We fixed those, and we’ll fix the next ones too.

• Batten down the hatches! The app sandbox is now enabled for all web content. This is a fancy way of saying we’ve dialed up the security of the app. It wasn’t unsafe before, but it’s double safe now.
• A preference that allows you to choose a unique save location per download, instead of choosing a folder for all of them. For the choosy types.
• Downloading app updates is less prone to timing out on slow networks, as we’ve extended the timeout to something reasonable.
• The Close button has returned to its rightful place on notifications, for all your dismissing needs.
• If you found yourself, in some distant past, trying to start a song on Spotify with your keyboard’s play button, and it did not respond to your command while Slack was front and center, pesky hardware media keys were the problem. And this version is the cure.
• The app should be less spicy to your CPU when you’re viewing certain network error pages.
• When a download completes, we’ll show an in-app prompt rather than a bothersome system notification.

• Slack would sometimes crash when the user right-clicked to see the context menu. In context, that was unhelpful. So it no longer does that.

• Occasionally, a restart would result in connectivity issues for Slack… now you should be back online and back to work lickety-split.

• Like zooming in and out? Use a numpad? Great news. You can now do these things, on that.
• Notifications looked weird if your workspace name was long. Now, no matter your team name, notifications look lovely.
• Some messages were being marked as read when Slack was hidden behind applications, or not visible on screen. Now we won’t mark it as read until you’ve actually seen it. Which seems fair.
• Using three finger swipes to navigate channel history on touchpad now works again. And for those who never knew it could work in the first place: it does!

• Long workspace names now no longer appear as incredibly long in menus.
• Slack menus should now be showing up at the right language (meaning the one that is right for you).
• Spellchecker stopped working for a small count of users, leading to a shorp uptick in avoidabull erratz. With spellcheck now fully back online for those users, any remaining typos are officially not our fault.

• Thanks to a few tweaks to the engine, a polish of the pistons, and recalibrated valves, the app should be running smoother and faster, than before.
• Spellcheck, revamped, is now a much better version of its old self (and back on Linux, to boot) — now it supports Greek, Portuguese and British English. So now spelling correctly should come more naturally to us all (which is good, because “correctly” can be a difacult word to spell).
• After uploading a video into Slack some found it would give an infinite circle of loading, but not play, which was never our plan. Now: it works! It plays; no more circle! Because, it turned out, all circ and no play made Slack a null ‘ploy.

• Slack is now a little faster, thanks to a few small but important changes.
• Admins now have a little more control when configuring the ability to auto-update with a "plist". We've checked, and that's definitely the word. Admins: you apparently know what that means.
• Drag and dropping files into Slack is much more stable now. Phew.
• If you do need, for some reason, to reset the app data, this is now a smoother process than before.
• Those in many workspaces will find that their icons are now more pleasingly aligned in the sidebar. It's a small thing, but very pleasing.
• When DND is enabled, we no longer bounce the icon in the dock. Because DND means DND.
• The process of updating Slack is now more stable — and we now more helpfully explain why we're asking for permissions to do that update.
• Notifications were not making sounds that might notify you 100% of the time. Honestly, they had ONE job. They now perform it.
• Customized Slack shortcuts on macOS that sometimes weren't working now do the thing you intended (and apologies that that wasn't the case for some).
• Hardware acceleration can now be turned off without foregrounding Slack. If you know what that means, you'll know it's a good thing. And if you don't — it still is! And thank you for reading anyway.

• Our Slack app icon was missing smaller icon sizes, which was both problematic and aesthetically bad. It now renders as it should.
• Slack would occasionally crash while you were restarting your computer. We looked at the bug causing this, turned it off and on again, and now it works. Technology!
• Some people were seeing sidebar icons from other teams they were signed into instead of the icons they were expecting. They will now show correctly.
• Any keyboard and cursor actions you may have experienced behaving badly have been shown the error of their ways.

• In a slight change to the way you sign in on desktop, you'll now sign in in the browser rather than directly inside the app.
• The new app icon was looking a little fuzzy on some docks, which simply wouldn't do. It should be much crisper now.
• Equally, the new loading animation was looking a little stretched, or a little squished, depending on how you looked it. It's now practically perfect in every way.
• If you have had problems logging in using SSO (single sign-on), you should no longer encounter those problems.
• We fixed a problem wherein the "Open the Slack App" button in the browser did not, in fact, open the app. Honestly: it had *one* job. It now performs that job.

• When downloading particular audio or video files from Slack, the download window will no longer misbehave or look weird.
• If you were running macOS Mojave, we sometimes wouldn’t ask you for permissions for microphone and video even though we needed to, which meant we couldn’t use them. We now will and can (with your blessing, of course).

• Unread badges were occasionally unreliable or inconsistent, so we tweaked a few doohickeys to improve them. It worked.
• Smoothed some wrinkles in the loading of Slack calls and boosted general under-the-hood call performance while we were in there.
• We tinkered with the workspace sign-in flow, updating how we handle errors and improving magic link support.
• Copying email links now does what you’d expect (as long as you were expecting it to copy the email link. If you were expecting it to do something like file your taxes for you, you are still out of luck).
• Slack will no longer interrupt macOS when restarting or shutting down.
• After changing displays, pinch-to-zoom gestures will no longer insist on continuing to zoom the app when you pinch.

• We’re using a new font for Japanese. It’s clearer, more legible, and goes well with aubergine. (Which is the default color of your sidebar. As well as a vegetable.)
• Sometimes Slack takes too long to start up. If that happens, a) we’re sorry that it does, but b) you’ll now see a link with some helpful troubleshooting ideas.
• When a file’s done downloading, a new notification will dutifully let you know.
• If you’ve asked Slack to launch right when your computer turns on, Slack now does so much more quietly — with less extraneous loading screen action, and fewer fanfares.
• Badges about unread messages would linger on the dock icon, even after said messages had been read. These badges will linger no more.
• Slack would occasionally crash when it wasn’t allowed to put files in the Temp folder. Now, it will simply use the Downloads folder, instead.
• Some users who clicked on a magic link were not taken to their workspace. We have set our cauldrons to a slow simmer and magic links should now work as expected.
• When trying to connect via a proxy, Slack no longer refuses to load.
• Sometimes, during a support conversation, we’d ask you to reset your app data with the click of a button. Clicking this button will now actually reset all the necessary data, rather than some. Which is good for everyone.
• Now you can download a file from Slack, delete it, and then download it again. If that seems like the way the Slack should’ve always worked, well, you aren’t wrong.
• Right clicking “something” and choosing “Search with Google” had a tendency to search for “so”, “me”, or “thing.” It will now search for the entire text. So if you really do want to Google “something” (or something else), we’ll have your back.
• While operating in the background, Slack would sometimes keep notifications to itself. Sharing is caring, and you should now receive notifications as normal.
• If you quit Slack while the app was full screen, then started the app again, sometimes the gray bar that lets you close, minimize, and maximize the window would vanish for good. Now it doesn’t.
• Too many text substitutions in your Mac settings would cause Slack to perform poorly. You can now use text replacement to your heart’s content.
• Interacting with a notification will cause it to disappear, and not hang around indefinitely.
• When replying to a notification from the notification pop-up, the reply will now always be sent. As opposed to before, when it occasionally wasn't.
• A subtle gray border on the right edge of the window has been replaced with a subtler gray border. Subtle, one might say, to the point of invisibility. Ok, fine — we just removed it.
• If you’d previously asked Slack to download files to a folder other than Downloads, that won’t work anymore. We’re very sorry about that. The option to choose a different folder will return shortly.

We have a temporary fix for these devices that may make performance slightly worse, but will at least avoid flickering and graphics glitches. Performant AND non-glitchy is the next step.
• Slack will no longer sometimes crash when you ask it to quit. Quitting and crashing may have the same effect, but are not, after all, the same thing.

• When you’re in a lot of workspaces, the app now uses much less memory, and starting up is faster, to boot.
• And flipping between those workspaces is now faster. Not super-sonic, but certainly somewhere between a jiffy and lickety-split.
• We shunted the sign-in page out of the app — it's now rerouted to a new window, for reasons of reliability.
• A new-fangled lock badge subtly lets you know which workspaces you're currently signed out of. Or of which you're currently signed out. Either way.
• Our start up screen, spruced-up and slimmed-down, is worth a gander — as is the helpful way that dates now stick to the top of a channel while scrolling through messages. Though if you don't notice them, but quietly feel a little bit happier for reasons you can't put your finger on, that's cool too.
• It’s been a long time coming but brings us joy to say: 100% less reloading during drag and drop. How much? 100%. That's all the percents, people. Sorry about the previous frustration.
• For those encountering a screen claiming "Something’s not working", it turns out the main thing not working was this screen: it is no more.
• If you kept the app running for a long time, you might be on the receiving end of two consecutive updates. Now good things come to those who wait, one-at-a-time, as is proper.
• The sidebar now scoots considerately out of the way when viewing full-screen video.
• We fixed exiting full-screen video when pressing the aptly-named “Escape” key.
• The blackout caused by a window being closed while full-screen, with one request confoundingly eclipsing the other, has been sunsetted.
• Found: One missing Ctrl-1 / Cmd-1 hotkey. Please call 1-800-SLACKME to claim. Don't actually call that. It doesn't do anything. Unlike the hotkey (now).
• Should you forget what app you’re using, the About Slack window is all new and loads much faster than before.
• Scrolling through messages is flicker-free.
• There are now no more crashes in High Sierra when starting up the app.
• Composing text in an IME (for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean customers) no longer inserts zero-width spaces; in other words, it’s blank-box-free.
• The diacritics menu – the place where the alphabet goes to try on different hats and accents – no longer adds a duplicate letter to your input once you've chosen the one you want. We've said it before, but this time we really mëean it.
• Pinch-to-zoom gestures could, sometimes, tragically, irreversibly zoom. You can now make things on your screen smaller again without resorting to moving your computer far away.
• The popup that appears when you look up the definition of a word has been realigned to make more sense.
• And finally, sometimes selecting text in the search box would move the window around. You could say… it was a bit of a drag.

• Previously in Slack app releases: we fixed the Japanese input in 2.6.3. Then we re-broke it in 2.8.0. And now it’s fixed again. Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment.
• An important Electron update improving security. A precautionary measure, but it’s always good to be up to date.

• Slack is now fully available in French, Spanish and German, down to the very last emoji, you’ll find the options in Preferences > Language & Region.
• Also, we added support for a brand new way of working with external companies from within Slack.
• AND a whole new way of handling name tagging in order to handle the exciting world of challenges brought by the two things above.
• All mentions of “team” have been changed to “workspace” when referring to the app, though not when referring to the people in it. You create a workspace. You invite people from your team. Simple!
• You can now configure the language used by the spellchecker in Preferences to be the language you wish to spell correctly.
• Fixed: A few rare crashes when making a call and/or screen sharing on a call are now, we believe, on the brink of extinction - or possibly, we hope, gone forever.
• Fixed: An issue where the app would hang if your OS reported that you were in certain timezones.
• Fixed: You may have been running into a `Something's Not Working` screen when waking your computer from sleep. Turns out the thing not working was that. So we fixed it.

• You're nearly finished signing in when suddenly – bonk – you're brought back to the first page. Hey, what gives? Please accept our apologies and, in this version, 100% less bonking
• Entering characters from the accent menu no longer inserts an extra character. Voilà señorita: that souffleé is now an (edible) soufflé.

• The app now stores some login information on the keychain. So if a passerby requests permission (a dialog, not a stranger), do try and approve it.
• File downloads are now pausable and – in perhaps a master stroke of matchmaking – resumable too.
• A bevy of changes to make the app more keyboard navigable.
• We’ve adjusted the app icon, but just a skosh. Putting our best foot forward.
• Should the worst happen and the app fail to load, you’ll see a less dreadful error page and perhaps even a code you can share.
• Like an electrically-motivated vampire was Slack to your laptop’s battery. Put down the garlic; leave the stakes at home: we’ve done the slaying on our end.
• We spliced some wires we shouldn’t have, causing a loading screen to flash briefly after signing into a team. Now it’s as it should be.
• The team sidebar is no longer touch-challenged. Tap, flick, and drag teams to your heart’s content.
• Canceling a running download is 38% less crashy. For when you decide you didn’t need that third gif after all.
• If you’ve set the app to start hidden in your system login items, it will listen to you.
• In a similar vein, if you send a reply from an alert-style notification, your teammates will hear you.

• Sometimes if you changed networks, we used to rouse from sleep in a bit of a daze, greeting you with a blank screen. Now, we awaken bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Or at the very least, with your team displayed.
• Where, in rare cases, some external links didn't end up pointing to the right place when you clicked them, they now do.
• Video playback should now be much smoother, and nicer to your network.
• On certain keyboard layouts, hitting backspace didn't actually delete the last character, which was a surprise, but a surprise of the lesser kind - there is now one fewer lesser surprise.
