If it haven't said it before (since I forgot if I watched his YT video) I will say it now: This is the best and most clearest introduction to Slack. Bravo!
What a wonderful presentation. We're still in the development phase of our project, but it's been great these past few days to know that there will come a time when we understand how to grow within this extraordinary tool of communication.
Thank Steve. I've just start a new job, working remotely at mo. I had never heard of Slack and not so used to this way of working. I love your tutition style. You've been really helpful!

Great intro to Slack. My team all went live with Slack in the autumn 2019 after we watched a previous video. It’s revolutionised our team esp while we are all remote working during the pandemic. So useful and remarkably everyone has got on board with it. Thanks for inspiring us!
Not only was this an incredibly helpful video, but your delivery and genuine interest and love for Slack made learning so much more fun. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
You explain things so clearly, regardless of what program you are teaching. Slack is still a bit confusing , primarily the list of the left side of the screen, so I'll look for any other TH-cam videos you've done since this original video.
Thanks for the video, Steve. I was introduced to Slack via a gaming community which uses it for communications. It is a fantastic tool for communication and productivity for different kinds of teams. Being able to set up private and public channels is a great feature so comms can be kept on a need-to-know/be involved basis.
Steve, I enjoy learning with you and have been following you for quite some time. Thank you! We are a small nonprofit for Mental Health. New to Slack and your explanation was clear and very useful. I am going to send it to my team. Something useful for my bilingual team will be anything that has to do with podcasting and video production in relation to using Slack. Thanks.
Hi Steve and team, thanks for sharing this video. Our very small nonprofit organization is finding Slack invaluable now while working remotely, and will continue to use it once back in our office space. We find it of particular value in project management using the channels, as well as diverting us from the dreaded email chat. The ability to integrate G drive is amazing, and helps to eliminate searching through the drive or email for links.
Awesome introduction to Slack. I had never heard of Slack until it was referenced in an IT course I'm taking, so I set out to investigate. Nice to find a platform that just presents the facts without trying to trash any other similar apps. Wonderful to have someone who loves tech and makes communicating it interesting, shows the everyday uses of the tech and whose enthusiasm is down right contagious. Hello from a fellow BC, Canada resident.
Great video! I just started a new job, and we're using Slack. Looked in intimidating with all the employees on it, but this was a great explanation! Thank you!
Great content about the use of Slack, Steve. I'm looking to try and make this useful for my parents and in-laws who live at a distance from us, to help keep them updated with our kids activities and other things.
Incredibly helpful video Steve! I couldn’t have introduced Slack to our team anywhere as well as you have here. Thank you! Adding this to our NEW Slack workspace in our Slack 101 channel.
I just found this video and have to say you did a great job describing this application! Please do more on how you are using this day to day and how this would integrate with the Outlook calendar and conf calls. Thank you!
Excellent Presentation! Presented Just as the the Title States. I viewed several videos for under two minutes that did not captivate my attention. I like how the Presenter explain Slack in simple terms and provided an option to go directly to a heading for information. After attempting to watch the first few videos, I was going to do just that until he began speaking moving along the content in a succinct manner in an easy-to-follow way. Now, I have a pretty good basic understanding of Slack. Thanks for sharing!
thanks steve, starting a new job in August and they use slack - hadn't heard of it until now, so glad you have this video to help me feel prepared! :-)
First time viewer. Appreciate the practical quick start knowledge and quality of content. Slack with its integrations looks like it will take our business communications to the next level. Cheers
For almost two years, in my consulting activities, I have used the features provided by Slack, Asana, Zoom and Hubspot integrated to my G-Suite. I see much more productivity.
Hello Steve, you briefly mention all of the powerful available app intregrations, that it's like finding sweet surprises, that you could get lost in hours of pointing out cool capabilities - I'd love for you to do vids on THAT!
I am the admin of a slack workplace. A member of the workplace created a channel. The channel is not listed in my channel list in the sidebar. I had to search for the channel and then add it to my list of channels. Why is the channel created by a member not automatically added to the list of channels? Again, I am the admin of the workplace. Thank you for your help and the great tutorials you offer.
I like to know more about securing meetings regarding screen share options, waiting room, Breakout room, Whiteboard, annotation, recording and close caption features. And also interest in the Enterprise level Webinar.
Great suggestion! In the meantime, have you watched my previous videos on Slack and Google Drive integrations? Check them out here: th-cam.com/users/Dottotechhomesearch?query=slack%20and%20google%20drive
Great vid. Have been considering starting a Slack work space for community building for a Patreon group. Any thoughts on Slack as a community building tool?
I like the idea with one caveat, it may be difficult to teach a community to use Slack if it is not part of their day-to-day operation, I would worry that your patrons would not be comfortable communicating on a regular basis and a tool that they don’t use frequently.
Thanks for all your videos! Awesome! Question: How are you adding all these graphics, and segways? Do I need an editor? I prefer to pay someone to grab my videos and edit them.
In 2015, the slack servers were hacked, and 65,000 corporate slack accounts were compromised and their passwords stolen. There's no such thing as "the cloud", you are just storing you confidential data on "someone else's computer".
Most comprehensive detailed video.
Because you tell us about the essence of Slack.
that's the most important part that every other you tuber not tell
If it haven't said it before (since I forgot if I watched his YT video) I will say it now: This is the best and most clearest introduction to Slack. Bravo!

Slack is one of those apps that makes work sooooooo much better. Our team rarely uses email anymore.

I have just recently moved over to chrome book as my Machine. This makes Slack useable for me. Coolness
Thanks for this video Steve. I went down the rabbit hole about Slack and quickly landed here. Very informative and easy to follow.

no one could explain step by step to how to connect them, this is my problem, I keep watching several videos and I think yours is clear than others.
Incredibly helpful video Steve!

A great introduction to Slack Steve. How secure is Slack for sending files and documents to team members?
As secure as any cloud based service
In 2015, the slack servers were hacked, and 65,000 corporate slack accounts were compromised and their passwords stolen.
There's no such thing as "the cloud", you are just storing you confidential data on "someone else's computer".
Thank you for making this video. Great overview.
Great video! I would be curious to know more about how you use Slack with Asana.
Learned lots of new tips. Thank you!
