What are channels?

Channels are designed to keep collaboration and communication in a central location.

In Community, a channel is a place to: 

• Chat with students across your campus
• Share files, tools, and resources 
• Form groups and clubs 

Join channels 

Based on the type of channel, you can join a channel in a few different ways. 

Public Channels 

• Use the directory to search and join any public channels at your university 

Private channels

• Owners/members of private channels must send an invite to channels.
  
• They must also share the password with members
