Frequently asked questions #

What’s the difference between a single-channel and a multi-channel guest? #

Single-channel guests belong to exactly one channel. Multi-channel guests can be added to any number of channels, but only the ones you specify. 

Are guests charged the same as regular users? #

Not always. You can invite up to five single-channel guests free of charge for each paid seat in your Workspace. Multi-channel guests are charged as regular users.

Can guests be added to user Groups? #

No. Guests can’t be part of user groups regardless of type.
