What are Slack notifications?
Slack Notifications are a way to get live information about your events. You can select nominated Slack channels in your Slack workspace to receive updates. The channel will receive following information:
- Phase change notifications when events are moved from PRE > MAIN > POST
- Stats about viewer numbers and stream health.
