# Configure whether topics are required in channel messages

						|
 | 
						|
Administrators can configure the default for whether topics are required in
 | 
						|
channel messages (i.e., whether it's possible to send messages to the “*general
 | 
						|
chat*” topic).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The default configuration can be overridden for any channel. You can also
 | 
						|
configure channels to [allow only the “*general chat*”
 | 
						|
topic](/help/general-chat-channels).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Set the default *general chat* topic configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!admin-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Under **Compose settings**, select the desired option from the **Default
 | 
						|
   *general chat* topic configuration for channels** dropdown.
