Creating organization-wide channels

Organization-wide channels can only be created by administrators. All members of the organization are automatically members of the channel and cannot leave it. This also applies to users who have not yet been activated.

To create an organization-wide channel, follow a different procedure than when creating other types of channels:

1. Click on Settings.

2. Select "Organization Settings".

3. Under the heading "Channel settings", click "Channels".

4. Click on "New Channel" in the top right corner.

5. The "Create Organization-Wide Channel" view opens. You must give the channel a name. You can add a description to the channel. You can upload a channel image. The channel type is already set to "organization-wide".

6. By pressing the "Read-Only" switch, you can set that only channel managers are allowed to write messages in this channel. By default, all members of the organization can write messages.

7. Click on "Create Channel" below.
