		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Click the **Subscribe them** button on the banner to subscribe the user to
 | 
			
		||||
the channel. You will not see the button if you don't have permission to
 | 
			
		||||
subscribe the user.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||

		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      You do not have to send the message you are composing for
 | 
			
		||||
      the user to be subscribed this way.
