If you do not have access to install Apps in your Slack workspace, check with your Slack workspace administrator.

  1. Click Allow. Then you can start creating impromptu meetings!

Using the Gather App for Slack

In any channel or DM, type /gather to launch a meeting. A button will appear so everyone in that channel or DM can join in a click.

We'll automatically select an empty Private Area of the appropriate size for your meeting.

Anyone who clicks the 'Join meeting' button and isn't logged in will join as a guest.
