Recent conversations
In Zulip, a conversation is a direct message thread (one-on-one or with a group), or a topic in a channel.
Use the recent conversations view to get an overview of all the ongoing conversations. This view is particularly useful for catching up on messages sent while you were away.
- Click on Recent conversations (or if the views section is collapsed) in the left sidebar, or use the T keyboard shortcut.
- The filters at the top help you quickly find relevant conversations. For example, select Participated to filter to the conversations you have sent messages to.
- Click on a topic or DM conversation you’re interested in to view it. You can return to recent conversations when done (e.g., by using the back button in your browser or desktop app) to select the next conversation.
