- Members do not have to join Channels. Once a Channel is created, it is visible to everyone in the Team.
- You may also create private channels that are only visible to members invited to the Channel.
- Be descriptive when naming Team Channels so that all Members know what the topic is.
- Members can adjust Channel notifications by right-clicking on a Channel name.
