An effective team chat application positively impacts productivity and connects employees across entire departments – and remotely. As companies become digitally focused, choosing an adaptable team chat app is crucial to effective collaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are three leaders in the chat app space, and some considerations when looking to give teams a productivity boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-1--1-slack\">1. Slack\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fslack.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slack\u003C\u002Fa> is a user-friendly chat app with secure communication and premium plugins. Channels encourage communicative spaces focused on specific user needs. Click and drag options make sharing files and documents simple. A single click also provides video and phone call access.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Powerful integrations like Zoom and Office 365 integrate with Slack. Present to your entire team and then hop into a Zoom conference with global team members. These actions are easily maneuvered and in an instance. Utilize one of 2,000 other app integrations that include workflow software such as Asana.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slack is the market leader when it comes to a unified workplace for people to communicate effectively in a global online setting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"476\" height=\"400\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F11\u002F19190355\u002Fteam-chat-apps-slack.png\" alt=\"slack interface image of coffee on a table\" class=\"wp-image-51273\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F11\u002F19190355\u002Fteam-chat-apps-slack.png 476w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F11\u002F19190355\u002Fteam-chat-apps-slack-450x378.png 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--2-microsoft-teams\">2.

Staff can collaborate in separate threads without disturbing the larger discussion points in a channel. This is a particular benefit if you’re looking to create a marketing group, for example, and then break out into team channels like ‘organic growth’ or ‘social media’ for specific departmental needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Slack, integrations can be accessed directly from the interface of Microsoft Teams. Recent updates include a ‘raise your hand’ option in video meetings, providing structure to passionate team discussions between employees. You can also pin your favorite chat channels to your user interface as a reference. Pop-out view options help better manage your programs while multitasking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the digital workplace, Microsoft Teams cloud-based service comes with big data storage and additional AI features that help keep a business agile. Although not as flexible or user-friendly as chat app rival Slack, Microsoft Teams is an established powerhouse of online communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F11\u002F19190355\u002Fteam-chat-apps-microsoft-teams.png\" alt=\"microsoft team interface \" class=\"wp-image-51274\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F11\u002F19190355\u002Fteam-chat-apps-microsoft-teams.png 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F11\u002F19190355\u002Fteam-chat-apps-microsoft-teams-450x251.png 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--3-google-chat\">3.

The chat app will feel even more fluid if integrated with other Google applications. Instead of ‘channels’, Google Chat presents ‘rooms’ that contain conversation threads – this keeps discussion points focused and silos group chats if required.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A link share option in a chat room automatically changes user privileges so team members are granted access.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s the integrations with existing Google applications that make this chat app shine. Tagging employees with Google Meet to quickly schedule a meeting is a particularly user-friendly feature. Searches come with multiple filter options, and as you’d expect, results are displayed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third-party apps like Salesforce and Jira consolidate notifications according to the department’s need. Google Chat is a team app that works seamlessly when collaborations involve Google workspace products like Sheets, Slides and Docs. Chat channels can host an arena-filling 8,000 members per room and accommodates up to 28 languages.
