Chats, channels, and groups

In Branzy all conversations live in one place. They differ only by what they are attached to.

Kinds of chats

• Direct chats — one-on-one conversation.
• Project channels — the team’s conversation inside a project. A good place for the working stream and for connecting external messengers.
• Groups — topic chats not tied to a project; either conversational (everyone writes) or feed/channel style where a limited set of people publish.
• Task chat — every task has its own chat, so the discussion stays next to the task instead of mixing with the rest.
• Meeting chat — the same for a calendar meeting.

In every chat

• mentions (@name), quotes, and replies;
• emoji reactions and stickers;
• photos, video, audio, voice messages, and documents;
• link previews;
• online status and unread counters that add up per project;
• slash commands that turn a message into a task, meeting, or call.

Read cursor

Branzy remembers the last message you read and opens the chat there. Reading on the phone counts as read on the web too.

Leaving a chat

You can leave a group or a task chat — you stop receiving notifications for it, and the history stays for the others.
