Who can create a channel?

  • All users with the permission "Users and Teams"


To create a channel you will first need a team. When you have one there is different kinds of channel you could create. 

  • A channel is visible for all members of the team and everyone that wasn't invited when the channel was created can join it anytime

  • A private channel is only visible to invited members and will not appear in any searches 

  • A read only channel is great for minimising spam and can be used as a news channel. Only selected members can post new messages.  If enabled, members that cant post can react to a message with an emoji
