If you’re in too many Slack channels like me, there’s a handy tweak that lets you hide all channels unless you’ve got a message. The quick switcher can be activated by hitting ⌘ + T on a Mac or CTRL + K on a Windows computer and type the first few characters before slamming enter to quickly switch. Quickly switch channelsīecome a Slack ninja and switch channels using only your keyboard. If you add more than one, it’ll be randomly selected from the available messages every time Slack is loaded. Like custom emoji, anyone on your team can set a custom loading message (if your friendly admins haven’t disabled it).Īll you need to do is head to this URL and set your own fun loading message. Slack’s default loading messages are adorable, but what if you want to troll your coworkers? Slack’s got your back.

But don’t stop there! Sky’s the limit when it comes to creating custom emoji. It’s add a layer of personality while you keep bugging your coworkers for updates on projects. I highly recommend setting up emoji for each team member’s face, like we did here at TNW. Simply upload the image and everyone on your team can use it. In fact, anyone on your Slack team can add custom emoji (unless your admins disable it - sorry if the fun police go that far) by heading to this URL.Īll you need to set up your own custom :yourname: emoji is the name you’ll want to use for its shortcut and a 128px x 128px square image. While unicode doesn’t provide your face as an emoji, you can add your own.
