# How to add the App for Slack from the Pickcel App Store?

> Learn how to integrate Slack with Pickcel to display content from your Slack channels on digital signage screens

Pickcel's Slack allows you to show content from your Slack account and a channel where you are a member.

<Info>
  **Use cases:**

  * Sales and support teams can display live updates from a dedicated channel to keep the whole floor in sync.
  * Offices and remote-first teams can surface announcements, reminders, and shoutouts on a shared screen without anyone having to check Slack.
