Slack
Slack is the communication tool used by the whole Collective.
You can use Slack to communicate in real-time (synchronously) or asynchronously. Your group will have a private Slack channel, and you will have access to public channels as well.
In this way, you have access to the whole collective in the public channels or via direct message.

Zoom
Zoom is the video conferencing software we will use for our calls. It is an industry leader in audio and video quality, and even records our calls for later reference.
Your group will have a dedicated Zoom call line, which is on the Calendar event invitation you received, as well as listed at the top of your private group channel in Slack.
