User list

In the Zulip web and desktop app, the right sidebar shows a list of users in your organization. The user list has up to three section:

  • This conversation: Recent participants in the conversation you're viewing.
  • This channel: Subscribers to the channel you're viewing.
  • Others: Everyone else.

In organizations with up to 600 users, everyone is shown. In larger organizations, only users who have been active in the last two weeks are shown, but everyone is included when you search. Deactivated users and bots are not listed.

You can choose to have each user's name appear with their avatar, or select a one of the more compact user list styles. To avoid distraction, you can hide the user list any time.
