Teams Shared Channels

Teams shared channels provide a place for individuals across the University of Waterloo to collaborate with other individuals who are all members of different Teams. Individuals or entire Teams can be added to a shared channel. Shared channels differ from standard and private channels in that they allow people from outside the Team, as well as inside the Team, to work in the shared space. To compare the different types of channels see Channel feature comparison. 

Note: At this time, external collaboration is turned off. Users from outside the University cannot be added to shared channels.
