Users create streams, which are named channels, and invite colleagues as members. Within a stream, participants post messages that appear in a chronological feed, and others can reply to specific posts to keep conversations threaded. Files attached to stream posts are stored and accessible to all members. Users can be @mentioned to draw attention, and posts can be starred or bookmarked for later reference. Streams activity is separate from email and does not generate inbox messages.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Use Streams<\/h2>\n<p>Streams reduces internal email clutter for quick team updates, project discussions, and file sharing among colleagues. A sales team can have a stream for daily order updates rather than sending a group email each morning. It is well suited for small to mid-sized teams that want a messaging channel without subscribing to a separate tool like Slack, keeping communication and email in a single Zoho Mail interface.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Key Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Streams is only available to users within the same Zoho Mail organisation; you cannot add external clients or vendors as stream members. For discussions that include external participants, email or Zoho Cliq is a better choice. Streams history is retained as long as the organisation&#8217;s account is active, but there is currently no export function for archiving stream conversations outside of Zoho.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\">\n<h3>India Example<\/h3>\n<p>A 20-person IT services firm in Chennai created a Streams channel called &#8220;Client Escalations&#8221; for their support and account management teams. Instead of long reply-all email chains, team members posted updates and tagged the relevant account manager. Response times on escalations dropped because everyone involved could see the full conversation thread in one place without digging through their inboxes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/mailbox-zoho-mail\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Mailbox<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/distribution-list-zoho-mail\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Distribution List<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/shared-mailbox-zoho-mail\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Shared Mailbox<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/email-filter-zoho-mail\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Email Filter<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\">\n<h3>Is Streams included in all Zoho Mail plans?<\/h3>\n<p>Streams is available on Zoho Mail&#8217;s paid plans.
