Great. Thanks! One more question-are their privacy options in a discussion thread? Im looking for a tool to use within my org that will allow staff to have discussions within their own team. We don’t care so much about keeping certain discussions private but more keeping the tool clean as a large number of our staff/volunteers are retired people who have limited experience in this technology. And oh can the font be increased as needed?
