Chatter org settings are the Setup switches that turn company-wide collaboration on or off and choose which features exist, including how groups work and who can be invited. Email settings sit beside those switches: the administrator decides whether the company sends Chatter mail at all, and each person then chooses what they receive and how often. Together they control who can collaborate and how noisy the product is.

Core information
  • Administrators turn Chatter on or off from Setup, Chatter Settings, by selecting Enable (Customize Application). Beginning in Summer ’26, new orgs ship with Chatter off, so features that need Chatter or the Chatter APIs, such as Case Feed, Experience Cloud Chatter, and some AppExchange packages, stay unavailable until an administrator turns it on.
More details and nuances
  • Turning Chatter off in Salesforce Classic also removes global search; turning it off in Lightning Experience leaves global search. With Chatter off, the Chatter app, Follow and record feeds, Groups, Case Feed, the Customer Community site template, Experience Cloud Chatter, and Chatter APIs are unavailable, and AppExchange packages that rely on Chatter can fail to install.
