## Channel Conversation

To start a conversation with *everyone* in a particular channel (and thus everyone on the team), select the channel. Click **Reply** to respond to an existing thread or go to the compose box at the bottom of the screen to start a new one. Type your message and click **Send** ![Send button](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4662144b-ab1f-4796-8b7b-e9f9c609894f/Images/Documentation/7e63e0a5-61b9-4add-8b5a-98a50022c53b.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-04T20%3A23%3A24Z&se=2026-11-04T21%3A23%3A24Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=b%2BtLqss6FpAi9wr7q%2FN8Aqr8YBNydxpO3BQeSk%2BHhM4%3D) .
