To remove someone from a Slack channel, you typically need to be a Workspace Owner or Administrator. Here's how to perform this task on different platforms:
Desktop or Browser
- Open the Slack app or visit slack.com.
- Navigate to the desired channel.
- Click the person icon (cluster of profile photos) at the top-right corner.
- Locate the member you wish to remove and hover over their name.
- Click the three dots icon next to their name and select "Remove from
#channel
". - Confirm the removal by clicking "Yes, remove them".
Mobile Device
For iOS and Android:
- Open the Slack app and navigate to the channel.
- Type
/remove @[member]
in the message field where[member]
is replaced with the target user's username. - Press the paper plane icon (Android) or "Send" (iOS).
Please note that removing a member from a channel does not remove them from the workspace. To remove a user from a workspace, you would need to deactivate their account from the Settings & Administration section.
