Very helpful in both the introduction of Slack but also user experience of how to make the most of it in the changing communication landscape. Thank you

[@dimschris]

Do you integrate slack into the communication with your clients? Some of our clients have really enjoyed being part of a slack channel because it is quick and easy connection to us. Quick questions can be answered without needing a formal email and calls can be quickly organized to discuss a certain topic.

[@stanmanstan]

Very good! Looking forward to the MS Teams video!

[@stefanodezottis1621]

Yes please, make a video about Microsoft Teams too. Many people could use it at their companies, but they don't because they simply ignore how much it could improve their work. I work as freelance, when I was on Office 365 I tried to use Microsoft Teams with my customers but it was hard to convince them. Then I moved to G Suite (for me it's better than Office 365) + Slack but it's the same situation ... it's frustrating to see how many people are reluctant to invest even 30 mins of their time to try to do something in a more efficient way. That's why I love your work and I'm an avid follower of your channel.

Christoph, your sound quality is excellent. Would you mind sharing information about which sound equipment you are using (mike, filter etc)?

[@christophmagnussen]

At that time we were using the RODE NT-1A. For most of our other videos we're using the Sennheiser AVX MKE2!

[@FaisalKhan-vg5el]

Dear Chistoph, Thanks for detailed video. I would like to know how could I use Slack for sourcing as recruiter. Also, Is there possibility to let people know about my business to meet people with mutual interest.?

[@borgmechaniker]

Hi, do you use slack only for internal communications or do you communicate with customers also via slack?

[@aremedyproject9569]

I think it’s like public texting amongst all the people in the teams of a company and pretty well ALL employees and the public can see the communications amongst employees and about 80% of it all should be public for it to function as it’s meant to. Think texting plus long tweets replacing your company’s internal email system. (Cuz email sucks.) Slack is more inclusive and collaborative. People can participate better. It sounds great. I would use it.

[@michaelhollister9987]

Great best practices overview!

[@fainalikhanova482]

Is it possible to check if your message was read ?

[@debussychopin2766]

This was a great video. More so because it gives me a look internally at your company people in an endearing way :)

What is wrong with Email communication? What is the essential benefit from Slack (or Teams, etc.)? How do I improve my job performance with Slack? Slack appears to be only communication, points in time that can be searched.

[@othername2428]

Start using Slack and you will soon find out. Huge shift in productivity & efficiency.

[@mediamover4238]

Great! Love it. I am a fan ofc but still nice work. Almost all the other content I have read or watched about slack use has always been click bait (or an article that's really an ad). The marketing power of the unicorn is hard to overcome. Nice to see real world use case / example. Some Interesting ideas and something to think about. As the person responsible for introducing slack to our organizations I am constantly evaluating use and effectiveness. I remain unconvinced often. Question: How do you (or do you) use slack (channels) to organize very private conversations? e.g. ongoing chats / conversations between you and your CTO or CFO. Threads are obvious but I think they are terrible and unorganized.

[@Clarkbv]

This a great start for an introduction to Slack, thanks for making this! I'd be keen to know what integrations you do use, and if there's any way you test if they're being used or not, and get rid of those that aren't useful for the team?

[@LivingAwakeInc]

Could you explain again the 'two times call rule'? It did not make sense to me in the video.

[@christophmagnussen]

You just call directly 2 times in a row to show that's an emergency and you need to talk right now. This is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmWoemqahbWJp7s

Wow, this video is crazy when it comes to preparation, on one side the microphone is good however the sound is bouncing from the walls so the sound is bad. The light stand and the light seem to be good quality however it is too sharp.

Christoph, is there a resource/procedure you can share or recommend on how to setup slack for a virtual/remote team in addition to your video? Would like to use slack more effectively.

[@DToX-777]

We would like to get our teams to use MS. Planner as we're Microsoft dedicated company, in conjunction with MS. Teams, similar scenario like using Slack + Trello, it will be great to see a video showcasing the value this products would add to organization

[@dougedmonton8728]

Interested in the word you use for the ‘what’s happening’ channel and the concept behind it, but I can’t seem to find it when I search (probably because I’m typing it wrong...) and hey thanks for the video eh!

[@ornellapesenti]

Hi Chris! First of all, ty for the video! I'm setting the account for a new company I'll be working on and my question, after the release of this video is: still using slack or better switch to Team?

[@kongcichan4265]

But can we still message an individual person right? not an entire team. if this replaces email according to the ad, how do we communicate to people outside of Slack?

[@corinnewilhelm101]

Yes, he did talk about that, they are referred to as direct messages. Just use a @ before the name

[@naddfarhana]

hi i really like your points. super insightful about how to change team’s behaviour in speaking more on slack. about its functionality and integration too. to echo every one in here, it’d be great if u could show slack walkthrough too. the tutorial

[@dillweed5347]

This is a very helpful overview. It seems the peeps below really understand electronic comm integration and want to get to the rubber meeting the road. I however, don't have a major paradigm shift to catch up to where they are, so it was a very enlightening 20 minutes. Thank you! Oh, and f these mf'rs that are in a rush to be in a rush.

[@davesanthri]

The definition of slack is someone or something weak, slow, relaxed or careless. An example of slack is an elastic waistband that has lost its elasticity. An example of slack is someone who takes twice as long to do a job as another.

I really dislike putting people down. I know how much work does into making one of these videos. So this is a critique, not a criticism. I'm sure the content was good, but I couldn't get past 5 minutes due to audio. I understand you were going to a raw feel -- including the hair light in the shot and all. It's just that when audio is bad, it's hard to watch a video. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Thank you for your Feedback Danilo. We'll do better next time :)

[@timbeaton5045]

You really don't need a pop shield that far from the microphone! Just sayin!

[@llindstad]

The biggest problem with slack is that people are sick of chats

[@mikael7071]

Let's get a pop shield but then stick ourselves in a large empty room so that the microphone picks up a dozen echoes. So why do we need a pop shield? ........ TO LOOK COOL

[@christophmagnussen]

Well, a pop screen is there, as the name suggests, to prevent pop noises. Either way, we can't suppress the reverb. But why not at least avoid pop noises, right? :)

[@mikael7071]

@@christophmagnussen Yeah I hate it when I'm on a video conference call and the other attendees get pops because I'm so far from the mic that it doesn't matter. Good point. If you care about your acoustics and aren't going for aesthetics, but also intend to sit there, rather invest in smart dampening solutions. Your content was good, this visual composition and the horrendous audio just wasn't. Thankfully, I see this is a very old video (I only came for Slack) and your newer stuff looks way better.. So let's not make too much of my comment 😌
