Hello, with the newest updates for not allowing calls anymore but the huddle - I start to not like the product. It is more clicks and fullscreen is not possible when someone is sharing the screen but I see a "fancy! background …. I need to see what is presented and not fancy backgrounds! Would appreciate if you talk to users more often before releasing stuff that is not needed at all.

I liked your product so much because it was simple and only had the things that are really needed!

I have a couple of suggestions that, in my opinion, would make Slack even more awesome than it already is.

1) I sometimes find that a conversation or channel has been cluttered up with a side conversation (often of my own making) that would have been better to break out into a thread. I would love a feature that would…
a) allow you to select specific messages in a single conversation or channel and propose that they be moved into a thread,
b) request permission from the message owners, and
c) move the messages into the thread

2) Similarly, a feature that would allow you to request that another user's large message be converted into a collapsible snippet.

I feel like these two features would be a nice aid in keeping our conversations & channels focused.

slack used to be great, but like many software projects, as more time passes they feel the need to keep adding features without ascertaining if the majority of users even want them. one of the most annoying new features is the 'select and paste url to create link'. many people, including myself, select text to overwrite it and i do this all the time, and i often do it to overwrite it with a url. and i literally never want to retain the text i am selecting to overwrite when i do this.

I would like slack to stop changing the microphone automatically. I will often plug a set of headphones in that seem to have a mic in them somewhere then slack decides to use that microphone and everyone complains about my voice quality. Just leave it where I left it please.

I really like slack and use it for my own company. What we are still missing is a function to move messages from one thread to another like "group>thread>move".

Kind regards

Slack is an allrounder in communication and organization. I use it for my own company too.
But what we are still missing is a function that moves messages from one thread to another on the local app. There is no such thing like "move message to group>thread"

Kind regards

Can you make a way to rename the direct group chats? It's been really hard to keep track of all my chats with multiple of the same person and sometimes they disappear if there aren't as many chats?

Hi There,

Just a heads-up that I believe the word "bool" is spelled wrong on your website. I had a couple of errors on my site before I started using a service to monitor for them. There are a few sites that do this but we like SpellingReport.com and ErrorSearch.com.

When ending a shared screen in a huddle, please bring the Slack window back from minimized automatically.

I'd like to suggest an option on hover or color code or tiny icon or something that would indicate the time zone on the left nav for Direct Messages. I work with people from at min 3 time zones. It is not always obvious without searching to their profile what time zone they are in.

While not always consistent - I do appreciate the notification near the message text box that notifies me what time it is for the other person.

Would really appreciate it :)

Not a fan of the sign-in process at all. Receiving a unique code every time you want to sign-in means you need to have your e-mail open. I would prefer to have control of my own password and 2FA via an authenticator app, no text messages either. The service itself I don't like it either, it just means more messages, links, blah blah useless stuff from other 'team members' that are nothing but time robbers.

The channel, messaging, and comment sections are organized quite well and has a pretty easy UI experience, especially when using a computer.

However, the process to "login" or "rejoin" an organization from a different device feels overly complicated. I should be able to simply sign-in, and all of the organizations I'm a part of should pop-up. I shouldn't have to look their websites or nearly soul search through my emails to find links to the organizations.

Your site looks great but I did notice that the word "bool" appears to be spelled incorrectly. I saw a couple small issues like this. I thought you would like to know!

In case you wanted to fix it, in the past we've used services from a websites like HelloSpell.com to keep our site error-free.

I'm pretty sure you misspelled the word "bool" on your site. You might want to check out a site like SpellRadar.com or SiteCheck.com which have helped me with problems like this in the past.

Add a pronouns section to user profiles and a bool input to display those pronouns next to your display name.

I use the desktop version of slack on my Mac. Please provide a way to disable notifications if the laptop is closed. I am already using the do not disturb setting for a determined period of the day - that is not the solution I am looking for. I do not want to hear the slack notification sound when my laptop is closed, regardless of what time of day it is.

I'd like to mention two things.

1) When someone on a call is screen sharing, the floating info bar is always in the way. A small icon somewhere like a corner that shows the info bar when clicked would be better.

2) We need to the means to discuss mathematics and chemistry. At least add superscripts and subscripts. I don't see any reason you should not allow HTML subscript and superscript markup.
