Change a channel's description

{!admin-only.md!}

Channel descriptions can be used to explain the purpose of a channel and link to usage guidelines, resources, or related channels.

Channel descriptions support Zulip's standard Markdown formatting, with the exception that image previews are disabled. Use Markdown formatting to include a link to a website, Zulip message, or topic in the channel description: [link text](URL).
