Team 3 online - AR Ana Ruiz Active - BC Ben Cole On a call - ML Marcus Lee Idle - CD Carla Diaz Do not disturb - OP Owen Park Off hours Say it your way ## Everything you’d use a group text for, without the group text. ### Photos, videos, and files Send up to 10 at a time, from your camera, your photos, or your computer. ### Voice messages Record a quick voice message when typing is a pain, like from the truck between jobs. ### Replies and threads Reply to one message, or start a new thread from it so the main chat stays clear. ### @mentions Mention someone in a group to get their attention. They hear about it even if the group is muted. ### Emoji and reactions React with a thumbs up instead of typing “ok.” Send just an emoji and it shows big. ### Seen and typing See when your message was read, and when someone is writing back. ### Search Find people, subjects, and old messages in one search box. ### Pin, mute, and archive Keep the busy threads on top, quiet the noisy ones, and put old ones away. On a computer, share a customer conversation with a teammate and add a note. Only teammates who can see that inbox can open it.
