Join Mattermost team (team members)
A Mattermost team serves as a superordinate organizational unit, e.g. of a department or working group. Within this superordinate organizational unit, there are smaller units, so-called channels.
You have various options for communicating within your team:
- Public channels: All members of a team can write and read in public channels.
- Private channels: Private channels are only visible to selected team members. Every member of a private channel can add further members, but only the channel manager and the team leader can remove other members.
- Direct messages: Direct messages are intended for conversations between two people or within small groups. They are only visible to the people involved.
