How to add multiple accounts to Slack
Slack supports multiple workspaces and multiple accounts. Unlike other apps that support multiple accounts, Slack does not require that you switch between accounts to view the workspaces in it. Instead, all you have to do is connect the various workspaces to the Slack desktop app and you’re good to go. The workspaces will appear in the workspace column, you’ll be able to switch to any one of them, and you’ll get notifications from all of them.
Multiple accounts on Slack
Make sure the Slack account you’re signing into has been set up with a workspace. Ideally, it’s good to know the name/URL of the workspace you want to join.
Add multiple accounts on Slack (desktop)
To add multiple accounts on Slack (desktop), follow these steps.
- Open the Slack app on your desktop.
- Click the hamburger icon at the top left (at the top of the workspaces column).
- Go to File > Workspace > Sign in to another Workspace.
- A new tab will open in your browser.
- Click Sign into another workspace.
- Select how you want to sign in i.e., choose a sign in method.
- Select the workspace you want to sign into.
- Click the Open button.
- The workspace will be added to the Slack app.
Add multiple accounts on Slack (mobile)
To add multiple accounts on Slack’s mobile apps, you will follow more or less the same process as that on the desktop app.
- Open the Slack app on your mobile device.
- Tap the current selected workspace at the top left.
- In the navigation drawer, select Add a Workspace.
- Select Sign in to another workspace.
- Select a sign in method (Google, Apple, Email, or URL).
- Once signed in, select the workspace you want to add.
- The workspace will be added to the Slack app.
Sign out an account
If you want to sign out an account, you will essentially have to remove all the workspaces that you are associated with it. To remove a workspace follow these steps.
On the desktop;
- Right-click the workspace you want to sign out of and select the sign out option.
- Repeat for all the workspaces that are associated with the same account.
On the mobile apps;
- Tap the current workspace at the top left.
- In the workspace drawer, tap the more options button next to the workspace you want to sign out of.
- Select Sign out.
- Repeat for all workspaces that are associated with the same account.
Conclusion
Slack centers itself around workspaces. You can add as many as you like and you will never have to manually switch between accounts to access the workspaces on it. All you need to do is sign in and the workspace once. The Slack app will serve as a single hub, irrespective of account.
