Channels are rooms inside a community. Anyone with Manage Channels can create one: right-click the list → Create Channel. The name can be up to 100 characters. A category is a separate Create Category modal, not a channel type.
Types
| Type | For |
|---|---|
| Text Channel | Messages, images, GIFs, emoji |
| Voice Channel | Voice, camera, screen share |
| Stage Channel | An event: members join as listeners until they are added as speakers |
| Link Channel | A shortcut to an external URL (up to 1024 characters) |
Categories group channels in the list. Drag channels to tidy the order (permission required).
