Huddles

Huddles is a built-in Slack feature for quick audio and video meetings, plus screen sharing. It’s designed for fast team communication without switching to another service, supporting both spontaneous discussions and recurring check-ins.

How it works

Huddles is integrated directly into the Slack interface. To start a session, click the Huddles icon in a chat. Teammates can join from any device where Slack is installed, including desktop, mobile, and iPad.

Key features and limits

• Audio and video calls inside Slack
• Screen sharing for collaborative walkthroughs
• Simple join flow without installing separate software
• Works only within the Slack ecosystem
• Free plan supports only two participants at a time; larger meetings require a paid subscription
• Frequent use may add noise to the work environment if not managed

Huddles fits teams that already run their day-to-day communication in Slack and need lightweight, fast calls for coordination and problem-solving.
