Connect by Voice, Video, and Screen
Slack used to be all about text, images, and files. But, starting a couple of years ago, the service went multimedia and more. You can place audio and video calls and (in paid plans) share screens. Slack added these options for parity with other platforms and alternatives people have to staying entirely within Slack, like Skype and Zoom.
The options available depend on your workspace’s plan. Audio and video calls can be made in free plans within a two-person DM conversation. Only workspaces on paid tiers can initiate calls from a channel or a group DM, and those calls can have up to 15 participants. Screen sharing is available only in paid plans.
