Adding new channels to a Team

Each Team can have separate Channels within it. These can be accessible by all users in the Team or just to a certain subset of users.

Channels keep all chat messages, shared files and Tabs separate so you can keep the contents relevant. By default, each Team has only a General channel. This guide will show you how to add a new Channel that is only accessible by certain users.

1. Right-click the Team you would like to add the Channel to and select Manage Team.
