Channel Administrators can rename the channels they belong to.

Select the channel name at the top of the center pane to access the drop-down menu, then select Rename Channel. You’ll be prompted to provide two pieces of information:

  • Channel display name: This appears in the Fangout user interface.

  • Channel handle: This is part of the channel URL. You can also change the channel handle when renaming a channel, but changing channel handles may break existing links.

For example, for the following channel, https://community.fangout.io/core/channels/ux-design, The channel display name would be UX Design, and the channel handle would be ux-design.
