Slack is a popular messaging tool designed for the workplace like Microsoft Teams. The platform offers a lot of IRC-style features, such as chat rooms (channels), which are organized by topic, private groups, and direct messaging.
Also, Slack isn’t just about text-based chat, you can also use the voice and video features for one-to-one calls or group meetings. You can share files, and it even has app support to expand the functionality to other services, such as Microsoft Teams, Gmail, and more.
If you’re new to Slack or you have been using the web version of the service, you can install the app on Windows 10 in two ways. You can use the installer directly from the Slack website or you can get it from the Microsoft Store.
