  • Manual: Using the Mattermost Team (Team Members)

    Click on the link you received from your team leader. Log in with your university ID and your university password. (Alternatively, you can also register directly at mattermost.uni-muenster.de and join your team via "Teams you can join".)

    You now have different ways to communicate in your team:

    • Public Channels: All members of a team can read and write on public channels.
    • Private Channels: Private channels are only visible to selected team members. Each member of a private channel can add other members, but only the channel leader and team leader can remove other members.
    • Direct Messages: Direct messages are intended for conversations between two people or within small groups. They are only visible to the persons involved.

    Note: You can be a member of several teams at the same time. You can switch between the teams using the left menu bar.
