"It 's really another thing that eliminates a whole bunch of just another things" - You got me here :) , Good Quote!!
I love Slack! Looking forward to learning how to use and integrate it even more. Keep up the good work!
You are such a wonderful trainer Steve. We're fans! I am signing up for your Slack training - sold me!
Good after noon my church just started using this apps and this demo was very useful thank you so much
Thanks for sharing this Steve! Tackling the inbox with team communication is always a challenge. This is a great tool. Glad I caught your Periscope with Sue this morning. Hope to see you there more often promoting great content like this!
+Alice Chase Nice to meet you Alice, glad it helps!
Great video as ever Steve.
The infectious enthusiasm and thoroughness we have all come to love.
Don't know what we would do without you. :)

+Glenn Hubbard Thanks Glenn!
Hi Steve.
Caught your Periscope today with SueBZ.
I help run the UK farming #AgriChatUK on Twitter and we are suffering from virtual Team communication fragmentation.
One of the team suggested Slack and he & I are trying it out, so it's great to hear you are a fan of #Slack.
Thanks, Charles.
More on Slack please! Thank you for all you do. Great stuff.
This is awesome. We are a startup based in NY and have a remote team in Chile working with us. It is sometimes hard to track their work and productivity across time zone and distance. I use the Moodbit App to track how my team is feeling and communicate on the point when the productivity goes down. I recommend to give it a try.
Been using this for a couple of months now for me and my colleagues and its brilliant
+LordMas \\ Byte2099 Glad to hear it! The more you use it the better it becomes.
I use Slack with several organizations. New episodes about the strengths of Slack would be awesome!
Thanks for this overview. We've been using slack at our firm for a few months, but we're not as disciplined. Back in the day I was a huge proponent of Google Wave and Slack is the first thing that has really helped transform our work.
+Geri Peak any tool needs to be used in order to be effective, but it sounds like you're on the right track
Love how you use Slack for Training!
I really enjoy using this app with my team. we just started but as the team is growing slack off helping to keep things organized and streamlined.
+tehillah7forchrist PERFECT, it has become an essential tool for us as well1
Thank you for the helpful tutorial!
Hi Steve, I find your channel really great and I follow you for a long time. I give you *****. Congrads for you review of slack which I discovered few weeks ago. And your videos of Evernote are always great. Im a Evernoter since 9 Years btw. Keep one with the great work.
Slack also integrates with GitHub, which comes in handy for teams of software engineers. We are notified every time someone updates the code. It's much easier to keep up with progress.
"Productivity vampire" 😂 Haha I couldn't agree more xD
Thank you so much for this valuable info! 😊
I have to say I enjoy watching your videos, you are to the point, cover the topic succinctly and are a mind full of information... Thanks for info!
Thanks for the comments! I appreciate it!
Two Gems Consulting is definitely a slack fan!
I like to learn more about Slack. Please post more videos
great intro to Slack. thanks a lot Steve.
Love it! More Slack demos
2:00 just saved you 2 mins
MirageScience nah the beginning is valuable too
Mirage thx
Thanx Steve. I was wondering what all the shouting about Slack was about. As I am not part of any team I wont be using this, I can see that it would be great for teams, projects etc. Thanx for explaining it to me (us) - I can cross this off my list - which, as it happens, is gQueues which I find terrific for me. Great job, cheers!
Steve, great video and headed over to look at the course now!
I have been looking for an app for my team that allows me to work with them as a group and individually but one of them main options that I am looking for is a way to send daily videos up to 10 minutes to my team to keep them updated and motivated.
Love Steve Dotto got me gonig big on evernote hopefully slack works just as well.
Excellent! Finally getting a start with this. I will slack follow friend you when I figure a few things out :)
I'm trying to figure out why everyone loves Slack so much. I've been on teams that use Slack. To me, it is a source of constant interruptions and distractions when I'm trying to focus on work. But I'm trying to keep an open mind, especially since Steve Dotto - a guy whose opinion I respect - likes it so much.
I think that its because maybe your configuration is off you can really choose what you want and dont want to see. I like that fact that all project documentation is in one space and is able to be hot keyed. I mean working courtesy goes as said if I feel like the WHOLE group dosent need to know I wont broadcast any messages or call meetings that are not needed.
Steve, this was great! I'm taking the lead on recommending Slack for my team who tend to be averse to anything new. Our goal is to decrease emails and increase productivity and project manage. If you have any additional tips for me to help "sell" it in, that would be great. I may do a demo to show them how it works.
Love this, more please. Will check your channel to see if you have more. But would love more about speeding up the creative process and little things you have learned. I am looking at Slack to be able to spend less time thinking about the process and more time to create content.
Thanks for sharing your motivation behind this video. It has really helped to spark an idea.
Steve do you still offer courses in Slack? Curious.
Can the Desktop version of Slack be used on Windows 7 and above ????
Thank you sir! Make me wish I weren't retired and had a need for Slack...lol
I guess it could be used for family and or friend type projects.
+Kreig Hirstius You could, It wold make you the coolest retiree on the block!
Can you please give a longer course on slack for newbies to it like me? I have been invited and now I'd like to learn as much as possible on it . e.g.. Sending out invitations myself, uploading to google drive, embedding you tube videos in slack.
One correction. I use Slack on my Blackberry Passport with no problems. I really like this product and it really makes a difference to support clients.
+Ethan Jerry Mings I did not know there was a BBerry client, great news and thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial! I had fun while learning!
Very nice knowledge sharing! Thanks for it. One question - does slack give facility to setup meetings, calendar requests and alerts / reminders?
How we communicate with different companies form Slack and How we can get Online Projects for Development ???
Steve, just curious how did you make this video with all the cool fade ins, links, and you being up in the front of the video. Curious. I thought it was really cool. Was it a program or something custom you or your team created? Thanks for insight.
+David Laurino Here is a webinar on how I create my videos, we have a course coming up in a few weeks on screencasting as well, so make sure you sign up for my mail list!
www.dottotech.com/screencasting-sectrets-webinar-opt-in-page-2/
Steve, This is great and we had used this in the start up that I worked in. Can you do a video of essentials cloud based tools for every small company (or start up). It would be good if we can get a case study of how a large multinational corporations can adopt new technology instead of relying on clunk old Microsoft technology
+Raghuram Muthukrishnan Sounds like a pretty big project! But let me think on it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey +Dottotech at 2:44 in your video you show companies/projects on the far left. How did you set that up?
I figured it out +Dottotech you are using the desktop app. Thx
Great review Steve! Really enjoy your videos. Please make a series for SLACK. Its similar to Teamwork which I use to liaise with team members but may be easier to use since it has mobile interface capabilities.
Cheers again Dotto Tech team
+Andrew Le Thanks, I will do some more demos on Slack!
Hey Steve - I love and covet your recommendations for cool tech tools. I am working with a group of 6 - some MAC users, some PC. We are looking for a platform to collaborate projects and calendars. Is Slack something you would suggest if I have a couple in the group who struggle to load stuff into a shared G-Drive as it is?
Hello, Steve. Outoff topic. Please apologize me. How do you put the screen of your computer as your background of your video? I you like to do that with my videos. Thank you for any help. And, by the way, I am already using Slack for the management of my team and I am very happy with it. Congratulation for your video. It is very good. Prof Marcelo Roseira.
Personally I rate Twist ahead of Slack. The apps have cleaner designs and keep direct messages separate. Paid accounts are cheaper at $5 per user per month and give unlimited storage and search history. The 3 pane layout of Channels -> Threads -> Chat allows for vastly superior organisation compared to just Channels -> Chat. Compared to the text-filled mess of Slack navigation, Twist is seriously good looking and intuitive. To me Twist looks like a version of Slack a few years from now. I strongly recommend anyone looking for organisational work software give Twist a try before Slack.
Steve - Yes - more info/demos on SLACK would be useful and much appreciated!
Thanks
+Steven Whitley On the way!
Me and my team use Discord. They are both very similar in the way they work and look, you can even call Discord a Slack clone. But with discord you can add friends outside your organisation, invite people to server/groups and find new people and communities. This means that it is very identical to Slack when in comes to working with your team, but you can also use it with friends and find communities. One more thing I really think is better with Discord is that dosen't take as much CPU power as Slack, so it runs lighter. You also get a lot more without paying.
How is Discord or even Slack different from any group chat? You can even use Facebook to add multiple users to a single chat and share files.
When you create a Private Channel on Slack, now you want to get it out of Private how do you do that?
Hello love your videos have you heard of Chanty yet and do you have any input on it?
Just started using this with my team
I really want to get it..but I dont see why this is so helpful. Id love to see actual hands on refular use of this app instead of just explanations.
Thank you so much. We just got Slack at work ... what I am wondering is how Slack will work with Adobe Experience Platform which we are using for content creation (Creative Cloud) and digital asset management (Assets) both of which have 'projects' where we manage teams from) :).
So glad I found you!!
Hey Steve! Great video! I think you might want to consider taking care of those 392 emails and 21 text messages that you haven't looked at yet. Hopefully Slack is actually, "making your life easier."
Holy crap!! Great video. How in the hell did you get your mobile phone screen to pop up in that tutorial in RUclips???? I had to have someone video me on my phone so I could show people how to navigate my website on my phone. I have been trying to learn that forever. I need to do it to train my team
Please help
Thanks for the video! But help, I’m trying to get my head around the benefits of it... compared to Skype. I know you’re probably saying to yourself “can’t you see it you’re missing the point?”... well I am :-) I hear it has groups, channels, but so does Skype have groups. What’s the difference and main benefit of Slack vs Skype? Thanks so much in advance for your enlightenment!
Hi, how do I automate Slack, to remind my team of their Trello tasks?
How many members can you have in slack? or is it unlimited?
Steve... This sounds awesome!! :)
Thanks for the tips!
How do I delete members in a channel. I followed the help and get as far as member list but there is not a "remove from channel"?
hi, great video.i'm trying to integrate a web form sign up from get response(running on facebook)so, everytime a client signs up, it shows up on slack..possible?thanks for help!
Thank you so much for this helpful video!
Thank you so much for the video!
Does slack support screen sharing? What is the size limit per file on file sharing?
It depends on the conferencing tool, for screen sharing, Not sure about size limit, we typically use Dropbox or Google Drive for file sharing.
does Slack support HighRise CRM? I just started to check this out to see what it is and picking up on how to use quickly. I will be looking how to bring in what is currently being used for side applications but I am quite interested hear your comments on my question.
Just through Zapier

Hi ! Slack seems very powerfull ... but do you know if this is localizable ? (example a team of French people should only get a french UI) ?! thanks
+Vincent Legros Not currently, here is what they say.

Ty
Thank you!!! I'm just getting started. Before I send the invitations to my team, do they need to be members of Slack already? More tips and tutorials on Slack would be appreciated.
+Rosi Gastelum You can invite them and then they sign up for Slack.
Thanks Buddy !
Truly Helpful
Steve can you provide a link to slack please.
Thanks, good video. Why have team-based channels rather than just topic_based channels, since any business conversation between a group is always tied to a specific topic?
+alex_manutd Design decision, you have teams that discuss topics in Slack.
Hello Steve, great video. I write to you with hope of finding a program that will help my department grow. I have a call center of 5 reps that work from home. I need to be able to train and shadow my reps while they are taking calls. Do you feel Slack can offer this for me? If Slack can share recorded calls for training, than I have found the winner to help grow my department.
Really nice entro. I work for a church and we are considering this. We need a file storage space and I'm thinking this is more of a communication tool? Thanks.
+Gaynel Indy the paid version works to a certain extent as storage that Typically most people will work using it in conjunction with hey cloud storage solutions like dropbox
+dottotech, thanks for the reply. Co-workers are suggesting Google Docs but I have had good success with Drop Box. I think your review of Slack is going to help me share this collaboration tool with them.
Slack is quite a useful tool. Also they're kind enough to offer free plans or 85% discounts if you're non-profit organisation. I wish I can get people in my college to use it instead of Whatsapp.
I think that you can manage with gmail to do pretty much the same using tags and threads and groups, maybe it's not so straightforward and needs a bit more of work to arrange it, but more centralized, you have unlimited message search and great search tool by google itself.
+Lucas Presmanes Justo Sorry Lucas, but there is no way that would work in my opinion, remember it is not just one person but a whole team, and the learning and discipline curve would be way too much. There is a reason that Slack is taking off, and it is because it is different than most of what came before it....
All that is not to say that it is not worthwhile to organize your email, so there is value to the efforts you are talking about, but they will not do what Slack will do.
+Lucas Presmanes Justo
My #2 son uses Slack in his work as an online tutor. I asked for this very comparison, as I have three email accounts, and lots of traffic (including spam).
His answer is that Slack is a community-focused tool. It will work well for a community of users with a clearly defined boundary, like a corporate environment or work team.
As I am involved in lots of communities with relatively little overlap, Slack won't help me integrate my communications as well as it will for some others.
Therefore I am better off staying with a well-organised email setup.
so how do i search for other slack communities? sucks if i have to hang out with my only pathetic team.
Thanks for this video!
Do you have a video on how to use the "calbot" app on slack to helps to integrate google calendar or outlook calendar more (adding to the calendars through slack and I heard more)?
No, sorry I have not used it.
Well Done! More Slack Videos Please!
Will do
So if you were to be hired as a company by some corporation for aid, would it be possible for that corp to add you as a company and your teams into their slack with some integration of teams' channels while ommiting some of the other ones. You both got the event channel, may they get merged across differente users' teams.
+jan karibjanov Yes but on a person by person basis, not as a global team
Nice video and explanation
Hey +Dottotech , Thank you for another great video. I would love to see what other integrations are possible including Evernote being an EBCC'er
+Brandon Krieger Will see what I can do!
Thanks dottotech
I have a question. I have an announcements channel, and i want only some people to be able talk in it, yet all to see it. How do i do it?
+Fantasyy
the short answer is you can't - Read Only channels have been requested from Slack users worldwide for the last year so hopefully it's on their Road Map. I think, in truth, the use of Roles and Permissions in Slack needs to grow in line with how fast the product is spreading. Channel Owners and Channel Contributors is a real use-case in my opinion now
Ok! Thanks for the help! :D And i 100% agree
+Jeff Brown I prefer Evernote chat over Slack. Any day.
Slack was far too confusing for me. Just one more app, then another app, then another app... when will it end?
+Edie The Salsa FREAK!! That is too bad, I personally ambling what Slack brings to the table. It reduces the number of contact points and saves all the conversations. But the key is to use what works for you!
yes! more on slack!
How is this different from Work Chat in Evernote? I'd like to see a comparison. I am self-employed and work directly with clients, no team yet. So, for me anyway, it seems like Work Chat is a better choice, no?
+Jeff Brown Work Chat is a good option if you are in Evernote a lot and your clients are as well. the problem comes if they start communicating with you in a variety of channels, yo can lose things then. Slack goes beyond Work cat in mobility, and is more "instant messanger" in feel.
I guess it's really preference. Choose one form of communication and stick to it. Slack seems kind of "clunky" to me in the sense that I have to add someone to my Team before I can add them to a Channel or Private Group. I would like to see it more "open" so I could invite a client to a Channel without having them on my Team. Does that make sense?
Super Helpful!. Thanks.
Can you do a Slack + Trello how-to?
I'll look into it
I'm just reading up about Slack and do not know much about it. We currently use, a hub site, one note, outlook, cisco webchat, a wiki page and a sharepoint site for sharing information among other things. would slack be a good tool to consolidate all of these into one location? I'm part of a team of about 20 engineers split between three different time zones.
+LWfluke I would think it is worth evaluating, you probably have too many contact points now, and Slack may be able to streamline your communications.
+dottotech ok thanks. we will give it a go.
Great video...thx for sharing.
thank you for having this info!!! love it
Glad to help!
How can I set up an overview of multiple teams on Slack like you did? To manage different teams I always need to log out of one team and then log back into another team. That's pretty annoying since I also only get notifications from one team at a time this way.
Are you in the desktop app? That allows fast switching
I use both. Is it possible only with the desktop app?
Actually, I just figured it out. Thanks for the cool video!
Hi , I want to include a bot as team member in slack and that bot can provide information when any team member required some information is there any way to do it? :)
Yes, you can freely create an app on api.slack.com, "Start Building", "Create New App". After creation you can always get back by api.slack.com > Build > Your Apps. You can add a bot to your app, and you can go into Event Subscriptions to subscribe your bot to events that happen in a channel he's invited into. If your bot monitors the "messages.channels" event, it can send a message to a web endpoint that you build. If you can build a web application somewhere that uses OAuth authentication, you can process the requests (containing the Slack messages) sent from your Slack app, make decisions or provide information and post it back to the Slack channel. Its quite a bit of work, but its possible if you can write an OAuth web app.
Hi "dottotech", Tell us about your presentation set up, the backdrop computer video and so on! Good job!
+Walter Rivera Santos here is a webinar where I go over the whole process.
www.dottotech.com/screencasting-sectrets-webinar-opt-in-page-2/
Looks a lot like the Cisco Spark product, which I believe you can also use for free at the moment. I know Cisco are starting to put a lot of weight behind it.
+Andrew De Abreu It should be worth looking at, I really like Slack!
Hi, i need to know about Polly ( polls ). Not sure how it works.
I have not used it, but I will take a look!
Yes need to know more.
Please can ALL these be shorter / they will be easier to digest.
Less intro for example
