Channels

Conversations in Rocket.Chat occur in channels. Channels are chat rooms with useful features designed to increase communication and collaboration.

There are three kinds of channels: public channels, private groups, and direct (1-on-1) messages.

Creating a Channel

Step 1: click this Icon

Step 2: click Create a Channel

Step 3: Choose, add a Channel name and click Create

Public channels

Public channels (also called channels for short) act as a base for all channel types. Use channels for conversations that are open to :your entire team. Anyone on your team can join a channel.

Channels make it easy to find what’s going on with your team. New team members can join a channel and read all the information previously shared by :other users.

When in doubt, create a channel. Public conversations help you build a knowledge base of your organization with minimal effort. For example, create a :channel for a company department or to discuss a specific programming language.

Private groups

Private groups are closed channels. They are visible only to their members. Use private groups for subjects that are sensitive, confidential, :or limited to a small group of team members.

Private groups are joined through invitation only. The administrator sets the permissions that determine who can invite others to a private group. By :default, only administrators, room owners, and moderators can invite others to private rooms.

Direct Messages

Direct messages (DMs) are a private 1-on-1 conversation between team members. They can be sent to any user on your server.

Messaging

Compose messages

To compose a message in Rocket.Chat, go the channel or user you want to send a message.

Notify other team members

To get the attention of a specific team member in a channel, type @ followed by their username, for example, @username. The mentioned :user sees a red badge on the channel or is notified via email or their mobile device if they’re not online.

You can also notify everyone in a channel by typing @all. We recommend using @all sparingly. Although notifying everyone in the channel :is useful for announcements, not every message requires this.

Send attachments

You can send a variety of attachments on your messages, like files, audio, links, videos, and many more.

To access the attachment menu you can, click on the plus (+) icon on the message input.
