File & Image Attachments
Drag-and-drop or click to attach files up to 100 MB. Images display inline with a full-screen lightbox viewer.

Pinned Messages

Channels & Teams
Public Channels
Open channels any authenticated user can discover and join. Great for announcements, company-wide discussions, and open projects.
Private Channels
Invite-only channels for sensitive projects or restricted teams. Only members can see content and activity.
Read-Only Channels
Broadcast channels where only admins post. Perfect for company announcements, policy updates, and one-way communications.
Team Spaces
Group channels under a Team (department or project). Organise Engineering, Sales, and HR as separate team trees with their own channels.
Member Management
Admins can add or remove members, assign channel roles, and manage access — all from the channel settings panel.
Archive & Delete
Archive channels to preserve history without cluttering the sidebar. Admins can permanently delete channels when no longer needed.
Video Meetings
Meeting Scheduling
Schedule meetings with a title, date, duration, and participant multi-select. Invited users receive notifications and the meeting appears in their list.
HD Video & Audio
Full HD video and crystal-clear audio powered by LiveKit. Adaptive bitrate adjusts automatically to network conditions.
Screen Sharing
Share your full screen, a window, or a browser tab — with audio. Participants see a live preview in the main stage area.
Meeting Recording
Start and stop recording from the meeting controls (TEAM_ADMIN and above). Recordings are saved to the shared file store.
Host Controls
Hosts can mute or remove individual participants, lock the meeting to prevent new joins, and end the meeting for everyone.
Call History
All past meetings are stored with duration, participants, and status. Accessible from the Meetings panel for reference or follow-up.
File Management
File Upload (100 MB)
Upload any file type up to 100 MB per file. Files are stored in the platform's secure MinIO object store.
In-Browser Preview
Preview images, PDFs, and common document formats directly in the browser without downloading.
Download & Share
Download any file you have access to. Share file links directly in conversations or channels.

Filter & Search
Filter the file browser by type (image, document, archive) and search by filename across all accessible spaces.
Tasks
Task Creation
Create tasks with a title, description, assignee, due date, and priority. Assign tasks to any workspace member.
Kanban Board

Task Assignment
Assign tasks to colleagues and track ownership clearly. Assignees receive a notification when tasks are created or updated.
Priority & Due Dates
Mark tasks as Low, Medium, or High priority. Set due dates to keep work on schedule and identify blockers early.
Task Lists
Group related tasks into named lists — perfect for sprints, project milestones, or recurring checklists.
Security & Access
Role-Based Access Control
Four built-in roles (SYSTEM_ADMIN, TEAM_ADMIN, MEMBER, GUEST) with fine-grained permission controls across every module.
LDAP / Active Directory
Connect to your corporate Active Directory. Users log in with Windows credentials and roles are auto-assigned via AD group mappings.
Session Management
Users can view all active sessions across devices and revoke any session instantly. Admins can terminate sessions organisation-wide.
Audit Logs
SYSTEM_ADMINs can view and export a full audit trail of user actions, admin changes, and security events.
Encrypted Storage
All files and messages are stored with encryption at rest. Transport is protected with TLS. Card data is never stored — PCI-DSS boundary enforced.
Password & MFA
Enforce strong password policies from the admin panel. Multi-factor authentication can be required for all users or specific roles.
