Overview of Private Channel Support for Slack Huddles

Key Terms

• Slack Application: A Slack developer application created via the Slack API dashboard that can be authorized by individual end-users.
• Slack Bot User: A Slack user operated by Recall that joins a workspace to listen for and participate in ongoing Slack huddles.

Extended Functionality

Extending your Slack team integration with a Slack application enables comprehensive workspace monitoring. In private channels or groups where the bot isn't invited, it will request huddle access through a native Slack popup, similar to waiting rooms in video conferencing platforms. This optional feature requires individual user authorization via a Slack developer application, while maintaining compatibility with existing integrations.
