Rocket Chat’s Basic functionalities
Search a channel
To search for channels and users, use the search bar under your account box. Alternatively you can press Ctrl/Cmd + k to access the search bar quickly.
A search will find channels (including the ones you are part of) and users. You can not search inside private channels.
When you click on a search result, the following can happen:
- If the result is a channel, and you already aren’t part of it, you will join that channel;
- If the result is a user, you will start a direct message with that user;
Create a channel
To create a channel, you need to click on the plus + button that is alongside the channel search bar.
A pop-up opens. You can set the name of that channel, choose if the channel is public or private, set the channel to read-only, broadcast the channel, and invite users.
Reactions
You can react to messages with emojis.
To add a reaction to a message, go to the message, click on the smiley face icon on the right of the message and then choose an emoji.
You can see other user’s emoji reactions beneath the message. To react with the same emoji as another user, click the emoji. You can also remove your reaction by clicking on your emoji.
Reply to a message
Reply to a message to quote a message from another user. The reply automatically triggers a notification sent to the message’s original author.
There are two options for replies:
Use Reply in Thread to start a new thread underneath the original message. Threads create a string of messages that quote the original.
Use Reply in Direct Message to quote the original message in a direct message to that user.
