![]() Users can add channels and start direct messages with a “+” sign, which is different from Teams where adding channels involves pressing a (…) menu. ![]() That’s then followed by an area for direct messages, and another area for apps. Pushing forward, under that, are two buttons dedicated to unread messages in any channels, and an area for any threads the user may be a part of. However, unlike Teams where the search bar is constantly universal across the UI, Slack’s search bar only appears in Channels and Direct Messages. ![]() Channel names in the bar will even light up in a white color whenever there’s an unread message, or show a red (1) if you’ve been mentioned or also a separate mini search bar titled “Jump To” which allows users to search for content and move between areas of Slack they’ve previously visited. There are many customization options for it available in the settings, as we will touch on later. Unlike with Teams, this list of channels is more compact and is out of the way from the user. Running along the far left side of the Slack window will be the main navigation bar, known as the sidebar. This is how you can jump between activities, chat, Teams, Calendar, Calls, Files, Apps, Help, and other apps. That can be quite annoying for some users who like simplicity.įinally, there is an extra navigation bar on the very far left of the Teams window. Unless the open Microsoft Teams window is put in a “mini” mode, this bar will always be visible. It should be noted that this list of Teams channels, is not collapsable. The channels listed in this area will light up black when there’s unread messages. Moving on, in Teams, there is also a dedicated area on the middle-left side for navigating different Teams channels. Similar features are found in Slack, as we will discuss later. You’ll then notice “Tabs” for Conversations, Files, OneDrive, and any other apps added by an administrator. That is then followed by an area underneath for the name of the Team Channel. This differs from what’s offered in Slack, as it also is home to shortcuts for messaging and people. Starting with Teams, one of the first things you’ll notice that there’s a search bar on the top. Slack departs from that and is a bit more simplistic and visually efficient. Main layout and designīoth Microsoft Teams and Slack feature a vertical style panel design. There are a lot of GIFs to choose from, depending on what you want the GIF to say.But what about the most important thing of them all? How does Microsoft Teams look and feel different from Slack? And which one is better? In our final entry into the Teams vs Slack series, we’ll now take a comprehensive look at the user interface differences. GIFs are a form of communication that uses moving pictures to brighten someone’s day or show how you feel, what you think, or how you feel. That is, of course, a lot of GIFs.The data from Adoric shows that GIFs are now a part of everyday communication everywhere in the world, no matter what you use them for. On average, more than 2 billion GIFs were used every day. GIPHY is an online search engine that lets people find and share GIFs. They were one of the most important parts of the early internet, but they’re more popular than ever now! Adoric said that there were more than 250 million users of GIPHY in 2021. In short, a GIF is an animated image that looks more like a short flipbook than a video.
