Open a channel
Select Chat in the sidebar and choose a channel. Unread and mention counts show which channels need attention.
Post and reply
- Type your message and send it. Mention someone with @ and their name.
- To reply to or react to a message, hover over it on a computer, or press and hold it on a phone.
- Attach up to 10 files or photos per message (25 MB each).
- Send a GIF with the GIF button beside the message box. Trending GIFs show until you type; picking one sends it straight away.
- Pasted links show a preview.
If you can read a channel but can’t post, your role has read-only access to it.
Control notifications
Set a notification level for each channel. Push notifications arrive through the Station Clipboard mobile app when notifications are allowed on your phone. You won’t get a push for a channel you’re viewing.
