## Channel options
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
There are several parameters you can set while creating a channel. All but
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
**Announce channel** you can change later.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Channel name**: Appears in the left sidebar for subscribed users. The
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
  channel name can be in any language, and can include spaces and other
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
  punctuation.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Channel description**: Helps users decide whether to subscribe when they
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
  are browsing channels.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Announce new channel in the [channel configured by your organization](/help/configure-automated-notices#new-channel-announcements)**:
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
  Posts a message in the "new channels" topic advertising the new channel.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Who can access this channel**: See [Channel permissions](/help/channel-permissions).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Default channel for new users**: Whether new users will be [automatically
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
  subscribed](/help/set-default-channels-for-new-users) to the new channel.
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Who can post to this channel**: See [Channel permissions](/help/channel-permissions).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Who can unsubscribe others from this channel**: See [Configure who can
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
unsubscribe others](/help/configure-who-can-unsubscribe-others).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Message retention period**: See
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
  [Message retention policy](/help/message-retention-policy#configure-message-retention-policy-for-individual-channels).
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
* **Choose subscribers**: You can copy the membership from an existing channel or
 | 
					 | 
				
			||||||
  [user group](/help/user-groups), add all users, or enter users one by one.
