Huddl · Team chat
Create a huddl for your organisation, open channels for teams and topics, and message anyone directly. Reply in threads, react, pin what matters and save what you need later. Invite a client or contractor as a guest who sees only their channels, share files by dragging them in, and search every conversation you are part of.
Included in every plan. No per-seat charge, no per-tool upsell.
What you can do
Channels, direct messages and threads for your organisation — with external guests, file sharing and search — behind the same login as every other tool.
Public channels anyone can browse and join, private channels by invitation, and direct messages with one person or a group of up to nine. Several huddls per organisation — one for the company, one per client or project — each with its own channels.
Reply in a thread so the channel stays readable, react with an emoji, pin a message to the channel and save any message to your own list. Forward a message to another conversation, or schedule one to send later.
Invite a client or contractor by email. A guest account is limited to the huddls and channels it was invited to, cannot create channels or invite anyone, and is kept out of every other Orbiz tool.
Drag a file into the composer or paste a screenshot; images preview inline and documents open in the viewer. Search every conversation you belong to, filtered by channel, person, date and whether a message has a file.
Keep the channels and people you use most in Favourites at the top of the sidebar. Open anyone’s profile from their name to see their job title, status, local time and, for members, how to reach them. Choose one of twelve colour themes, clean or compact messages and a text size — and keep different preferences in each huddl.
Set each channel to all messages, mentions only or nothing; mute it for a while; set a status and do-not-disturb. Direct messages and mentions reach the notification bell, your email and your browser according to your own settings.
Who it's for
With your AI assistant
Connect an assistant through Orbiz MCP and it works in Huddl as you, with your permissions and nothing more.
Your huddls, channels and direct messages: list them, read recent messages, search, see what is unread, post a message as you in a channel or to a member, and set your status.
One platform
Huddl uses the same organisation members as every other Orbiz tool, so a message about a candidate, an issue or a payslip is one mention away from the person who owns it — and a guest invited to one huddl never sees the rest of the organisation.
