# What is Channel?

A named group conversation inside a team chat app, set up for one topic, team or project, like #volunteers or #budget. Members join the ones they need, and everything said there stays in one place.

## In real work

Sam posted the new shift times in the #volunteers channel in Slack, so all 40 volunteers saw them without another email.

## How is this different from Googling it?

Google gives a definition. Prompthaus pairs each term with how it shows up in standups, PRs, prompts, and design reviews. Then it quizzes you until the word sticks. One term a day on iPhone.
