Chat: channels, direct messages, and team communication

Open workspace Chat, create public or private channels, and send messages to team members.

Kamili One Chat keeps workspace conversations together. In a collaborative workspace, choose Workspace tools in the top bar, then Chat and Open full Chat. On mobile, choose More > Chat. You can also open Chat directly. Channels are listed inside Chat; there is no separate Channels icon in the main navigation.
