It is mainly an intra org chat software. It keeps all the messages and attachments intact. Though it also supports calling and screen sharing but that's only suitable for quick hurdle and small group.

### Comment 8

It is a chat based platform that allows people to message one another securely along with the ability to call or "huddle" which is similar to having a meeting with screen sharing abilities. It integrates with other platforms (like google calendars to show that you are in a meeting) and has tons of useful features for remote communication. You can create private groups, private messages, open groups, set task reminders, and so much more. My favorite part is the fact I can easily communicate with my team on the go with their cell phone app.
