Create public & private channels

matthew.sourgoutsidis

To create channels, utilize the toolbar in the top left hand corner of your screen.
Click on the 'pencil and square' icon and select 'Channel,' to begin.
Clicking channels will open the 'Create a New Channel' window where you can alter the privacy settings.
Click the first button to change the channel from Private to Public (whats the difference?)
You can also (see above):
- Set the name of your channel
- Invite users via username
- Set the channel to a read-only channel (only admins can write new messages)
- Set the channel to a broadcast channel (only admins can write new messages)
