Teams are used to messenger apps, which is great, however, pilling up the conversation on any possible topic in one chat group buries the important information. One of the main issues is when a coach or a team manager messages everyone a schedule (e.g. for the upcoming week). Finding that one message in hundreds of messages is difficult. When it comes to the schedule, we’ve covered this topic in another post.
GameTime event chat channels bring order and clarity to your team communication — you can create them for every event that requires an isolated communication channel, such as a game.
Creating a chat channel is easy. When creating a new event, just choose to create an event chat channel and choose when you want to make the channel available. In case you need to start communicating about this event immediately, choose immediately. If you are creating an event somewhere in the future and that event will not be relevant for some time, choose how many days prior to the event you want to make this channel available.
While your main public channel (the team channel) is for general communication, as what you are used to in the messenger app of your choice, the event chat channels allow you to focus on the conversation that is for this special event that matters the most to you at that moment. The Team channel is for general communication, while the event channel is for that one specific event.
At the same time, you can use GameTime to exchange individual messages with any team member.
GameTime messaging is for athletes, coaches, and staff who work together. A message received in the GameTime app is always relevant and important to be read. Your team messaging in GameTime occurs in a closed and protected environment from the outside world.
