Facebook Workplace is a communication hub that is often used by businesses, schools and nonprofits. It can integrate both with computers and mobile devices and provides many features like text-based chat, video calls and file sharing between users. This program looks and functions much like Facebook proper, so the interface should be familiar for most users.

Primary Features

Facebook Workplace has several primary features that you can explore. This program allows you to make rooms for users so that they can speak with coworkers and tackle projects together. You can make different rooms for each department along with public rooms that everyone can join. This is like a virtual office where you can segment workers so that they can easily reach each other.

There are a variety of ways to communicate with each other. Users can send text-based communications either through the rooms or directly to a specific person. You can also establish video calls and conferences so that everyone can see each other. This ensures you can easily speak with everyone at the company even if you're face to face.

Familiar Interface

This program looks very much like Facebook itself, which makes it a convenient and familiar program for anyone who uses Facebook. It uses a very similar minimalist interface that any user should be able to navigate. Everything has been streamlined so all the tools and features are directly accessible without having to dive deeply into menus.

Groups

Some collaboration hubs like this only allow administrators to make groups, but Facebook Workplace allows anyone to make a group. For example, if a certain department has a few people working on a critical project, then they can quickly make their own group so those people can stay in constant communication. This allows the business to segment itself based on needs as they come up. This is much faster than with some other programs.

Not only that, but this can integrate with other businesses who have their own Workplace installation. Whether you work closely with other businesses or want to bring them into the fold, this allows you to create a direct line of communication with ease.

Intranet and File Sharing

Workplace allows users to share files with each other with ease. You simply select the file you want to send to others and it will be uploaded. This can be anything from presentations, documents, images, videos and so on. This ensures that coworkers can share files with each other even if they never see their coworkers.

You can also create your own intranet. This is a personal website that employees and authorized entities will be able to access. You can make forums here, upload documents and create a message board for major updates.

Search Messages

Another handy feature is that users can search through messages. For example, if you know that someone mentioned a certain concept or name, then you can search that to find the whole conversation. This helps if you forgot something they said or just want to go over the discussion again.
