# What is a Stream?

### **Each** [**Stream**](/streamly/reference/streams.md) **has the following components:**

* A **public Slack channel** where [**Requests**](/streamly/concepts/request.md) are posted
* A single **Request** [**form**](/streamly/reference/streams/modify/form-builder.md)
* A [**library of fields**](/streamly/reference/streams/modify/field-library.md) to customize your **Request** form
* A [**team**](/streamly/reference/streams/modify/team.md) of Slack users who handle **Requests**
* A [**private Slack channel**](/streamly/reference/streams/modify/team.md) for your team to collaborate, handle **approvals**, and receive **notifications**

  > Single-member teams use the app home `Messages` tab until they gain a second member
* [**Connections**](/streamly/reference/streams/modify/tools.md) to your favorite [**tools**](/streamly/reference/integrations.md) *(optional)*
