# 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][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)`.
