This is a roll call of recent contributors, members, or a combination of both. To see a complete member list, select See all members or See full list at the bottom.

Tip: To add a new member, select Add members Add people to team button in the upper-right corner of the pane. If you add a member while in a private channel, you add that person to the channel but not the team.
