Slack describes its service as a collaboration hub that can replace email to help you and your team work together seamlessly. It's designed to support the way people naturally work together, so you can collaborate with people online as efficiently as you do face-to-face. Teams can communicate through pre-created channels, direct person-to-personal messages and with text or audio/video chat.

For more information about Slack, please see Slack's Feature List page.

    StepWhat to do
    1Start your meeting from a location or room which is going to have minimal background noise. Furthermore, if your meeting agenda includes topics that are confidential, you may prefer to sit in a private room.
    2If possible use a good headset. If that isn’t an option, do your best to make sure you aren’t going to be adding a lot of noise to the meeting. You may need to turn off your fan, close a window or whatever else you have to do to keep your environment quiet. Sound quality matters – it is even more important than video quality.
    4If you are in a meeting room, connect your computer to the meeting room equipment.
