Inform... Slack’s friction free conference calling for your entire team is awesome

Slack has been quietly building out conference calling for its tool since it acquired Screenhero in 2015. Today, it’s officially launched the conference calling feature so you can jump in a call in just a few seconds.
The new ‘Calls’ feature is now in beta and can be enabled for your entire team if you’re invited. All you’ll need is the latest Slack app, which was released last week, or the Web interface: Calls uses WebRTC so there’s no additional plugin required.

Once you’re on the beta, a phone button appears in each channel as well as inside your individual direct messages with your team.

When you hit that button it posts an instant conference call in your channel that anyone can join in with a single click and you’re thrown into the call in just a few seconds.
