# Change a channel's description
|
|
|
|
Channel descriptions can be used to explain the purpose of a channel, and link
|
|
to usage guidelines, resources, or related channels. They appear in the
|
|
navigation bar at the top of the web and desktop apps when you view the channel.
|
|
You can hover over long channel descriptions with the mouse to view them in
|
|
full.
|
|
|
|
Channel descriptions support Zulip's standard [Markdown
|
|
formatting][markdown-formatting], with the exception that image previews are
|
|
disabled. Use Markdown formatting to include a link to a website, Zulip
|
|
[message][message-link], or [topic][topic-link] in the channel description:
|
|
`[link text](URL)`.
