Been finding huddles really useful but sometimes a quick chat moves onto a more full on discussion and most of the time now we move over to zoom for that so we can talk face to face. Being able to turn on video for these huddles will be great.
Slack’s brand-new feature has an unexpectedly rich backstory

Re: Slack’s brand-new feature has an unexpectedly rich backstory
#12It's hard to find, but it's a new feature that's not generally available (apparently will be in 2023) named Canvas. Basically, Slacks version of Google Docs. Was kind of annoying that this was hidden in the article and I didn't see any mention of it in Slack.

#13Great, now we can post a Slack link to a Confluence page that links back to a Slack Canvas that links to a Google Doc that links to a Slack thread that says to look in Jira for that outdated video on Sharepoint.
Surely "notion" is in that chain somewhere as well lol. Yeah, I really dislike when tools try to reach outside their "lane" (See: everything Dropbox has done that isn't storing files), you get abandoned half-implemented things that you get forced to use because "well we already pay for X and it has Y feature". If ever there was a use for the "I want X, we have X at home"-meme it would be cases like this. I wish more…
GNU/Linux takes a similar approach to commands available in user space. IMO, companies are obligated to chase the profit to the detriment of their product being simple, and this is why this naturally occurs.

#14Best news in that article was a brief reference to video calls coming to huddles.

I work at Slack, where we've been testing that functionality for a while, and I use it for one-on-ones with remote colleagues. Huddles become like Zoom calls, but with much more context.

Someone should create a startup to track all that! /s
Every company I've worked for has had something called Mosiac and it's always a pain to interact with.
Someone should make a startup called Mosiac for tracking information across many different tools.
