FAQs
Q: How do I join a Slack workspace without an invite?
A: Your company may require an admin invite. If self-service is allowed, use Get Started on Slack.com to create or request access.

Q: Where do I find my workspace URL?
A: It’s usually in your invite email and looks like yourteam.slack.com. Ask your admin if you’re unsure.

Q: My email sign-in code didn’t arrive... what now?
A: Check spam, confirm the email address, and click Resend code. If your org supports it, try Google/Apple sign-in.

Q: Can I join multiple Slack workspaces?
A: Yes. Accept each invite and switch between workspaces as needed. Pending invites appear on your sign-in screen.

Q: Do I need the desktop app to use Slack?
A: No. Slack works great in a browser; the desktop app can improve notifications and performance.
