My company has this, and I highly recommend it in general for security and data loss prevention purposes.

Any channel that may have external to the company users must have `-ext` at the end of the name and there should also be a non `-ext` channel for internal discussion that relates.

This ends up working really well because the channels sort together next to each other and you can tell very clearly from the name if you are talking "publicly" or not.

I feel like they should just have different themes for private and public channels. That way, you know at a glance!

In the shared channels it says right above the text input: `foo is in this channel` (with their logo) where `foo` is the name of the other company.

It makes it really obvious at a glance before you type into the textbox.

That would be amazing. I’m tempted to switch back to in-browser Slack just so I can write a Chrome extension to do this.
