Shouts are posted from the composer at the top of the Home page feed. You need the Post Shouts permission, see Permissions.
Writing a Shout
Type your message in the composer at the top of the feed, then click the send button or pressCtrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac).
Shouts use Discord-style markdown, so **bold**, *italics*, # headings, and lists look the same in both places. Type @ to mention members, ranks, or Discord roles, # for Discord channels, and : for emoji.
A shout always needs some text. Attachments on their own can’t be sent.
Attachments
Use the toolbar under the text box to add:
