By default, every team gets a General channel, which is a good channel to use for announcements and information the whole team needs. To add more channels:
- Select
(More Options) next to the team name.
- Select Add channel.
- Enter a name and description for your channel.
You can build a channel around a topic, project, department name, or whatever you like.
- For the Privacy of the channel select Standard or Private.
- Standard channels are open for all members and anything posted is searchable by others. By default, all members of a team can create standard channels.
- In Private channels, only users on the team who are owners or members of the private channel can access that channel. Anyone, including guests, can be added as a member of a private channel as long as they are already members of the team.
- Select Add.

- Select
