How to create a channel on KollabiuM

To create a channel, go to "Chat", tap "+" → "New channel", and add a name, a description, and a profile picture. A channel is your own space for publishing: only the owner and authors can post in it, while subscribers read, like, and comment. It's a great fit for running a blog, a club, or a community, or for sharing news about your project.

How to create a channel?

1. In "Chat", tap "+" → "New channel".
2. Enter a "Name" and "Description", and add a profile picture.
3. Tap "Create channel".

How many channels you can create depends on your plan. If you reach the limit, you'll see "You have reached the channel limit for your plan".

Roles

• "Owner": manages the channel, appoints authors, and can transfer ownership or delete the channel.
• "Author": publishes posts. This is useful when a team runs the channel together. The number of authors also depends on your plan.
• "Subscriber": reads, likes, and comments.

To add or remove an author: "Channel details" → the member → "Make author" or "Remove author role".

Posts in a channel

Type in the box at the bottom, just like in a regular chat. The menu of your own post lets you:

• "Copy";
• "Pin", so the post appears as a banner at the top of the channel;
• "Close comments" or "Open comments";
• "Delete post".

Subscribers see likes and comments under every post. The counters update instantly, without reloading the page.

How to subscribe to a channel?

• Tap "Subscribe". To stop following the channel, tap "Unsubscribe".
• Open channel: anyone can subscribe, and you can copy the channel link and share it with friends.
• Private channel: people can only join through an invite link or after their request is approved.

Invite links in channels work the same way as in groups. Learn more in "How to create a group chat on KollabiuM".

How to see channel statistics?

Open your channel's details and click "Statistics". You'll see joins and leaves, views, likes, comments and top posts.

What's available depends on your plan:

How to ban subscribers or delete a channel?

The owner can ban any subscriber, while authors can ban subscribers only. Banned people go to the "Blocked users" list, where they can be unblocked.

If the owner decides to delete the channel, all of its posts are deleted along with it: "Delete the channel and all posts?"
