Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by theinventors: “Group-based communication platforms accessible to a plurality of users via respective clientdevices may enable users to communicate with one another through discrete group-based communicationchannels. Each of these group-based communication channels may be individually accessible by a pluralityof distributed client devices (e.g., each associated with a particular user), however joining any of thesegroup-based communication channels requires a client device to have identifying data targeting a particular group-based communication channel to join before the group-based communication platform can establisha data exchange-enabling communication connection with other members of the particular group-basedcommunication platform.
