team chat

Workplace digital conversation

Team chat is software or a platform feature that lets members of a workplace or project communicate in real time through text messages, typically organized into channels by topic or group.

Distinguished from email by its informality and immediacy: Can you drop that in the team chat?

The term covers dedicated apps like Slack or Microsoft Teams and chat functions built into other tools.
