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:

  • In this conversation: Recent participants in the conversation you're viewing.
  • In this channel or Others in 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.

To avoid distraction, you can hide the user list any time.

  1. If the user list is hidden, click the user list ( ) icon in the upper right to show it.

  2. Type the name of the user you are looking for in the Filter users box at the top of the right sidebar.

You can also use the W keyboard shortcut to start searching for a person.
