Join a channel

Channels are either public or private.

• Public channels are identified with a Globe icon. Anyone on the studio can join a public channel.

• Private channels are typically used for sensitive topics, and are identified with a Lock icon. You must be invited to private channels by another channel member.

Note

To join a private channel, you need to be added to the channel by a member of that channel.

To join a public channel:

1. Select the Add channels button in the channel sidebar, then select Browse Channels.

2. Select Join next to the public channel you want to join.

See the following documentation to learn more about working with channels:

• Create channels

• Browse channels

• Customize your channel sidebar

Leave a channel

When you leave a private channel, you must be re-added by another channel member to rejoin. You won’t receive mention notifications from a channel if you’re not a member of that channel.

Select the channel name at the top of the center pane to access the drop-down menu, then select Leave Channel.
