V0: Team Chats Are Visible to Teammates by Default
V0V0 changed how new chats created inside a team workspace are shared, making them visible to teammates by default instead of private. Team owners can now set the default for new chats through a new Default Chat Visibility setting in Workspace settings, choosing between Private, Team can view, or Team can edit. The change only applies going forward, existing chats keep their current visibility, and project cards now also surface which teammates have been active in visible project chats over the last 24 hours.
Key Takeaways
- Default visibility flips: newly created chats in a team workspace are now visible to teammates by default, rather than private.
- Owners set the default through a new Settings, Workspace, Default Chat Visibility control with three options: Private, Team can view, or Team can edit.
- Existing chats are untouched, the new default applies only to chats created after the setting takes effect.
- Project cards now show recent activity, listing teammates active in visible project chats over the last 24 hours, ranked by recency.
- The change targets duplicated work, making it easier for teammates to discover what colleagues are already building instead of starting from scratch.
- It builds on V0's collaboration push, following the Sep 1 unified GitHub branch-and-Publish workflow, both aimed at making V0 a smoother tool for teams rather than solo builders.
New Chats Default to Team-Visible
V0 flipped the default sharing behavior for chats created inside a team workspace. Previously, a new chat started out private to its creator unless someone explicitly shared it. Now, new chats created in a team workspace are visible to the whole team by default, so teammates can discover shared work without waiting for an invitation or a link. The goal is to reduce duplicated effort and make it easier for a team to see what colleagues are already building in V0.
A New Workspace-Level Control
To give teams control over this behavior, V0 added a Default Chat Visibility setting under Settings, Workspace. Team owners can choose one of three defaults for newly created chats:
- Private, keeping the old behavior where only the creator can see a new chat until it is shared
- Team can view, the new default, which lets any teammate open and read a chat
- Team can edit, which lets teammates both view and contribute to a chat
Importantly, this setting only governs chats created after it is changed. Existing chats retain whatever visibility they already had, so teams do not need to worry about previously private work suddenly becoming visible when they adjust the workspace default.
Recent Activity Surfaces on Project Cards
Alongside the visibility change, V0 updated project cards to show which teammates have been active in a project's visible chats during the last 24 hours, ordered by how recently each person was active. This gives teams a lightweight way to see who is currently working on a given project at a glance, without opening every chat individually. Combined with the new default visibility, it makes team workspaces feel less like a collection of isolated private sessions and more like a shared, collaborative space.
