Creating a channel

Only Group administrators can create channels, and it takes just a few clicks:

  1. Click “Create Channel” on the Group home page.
  2. Choose visibility
    • Group: everyone in the Group can read it.
    • Private: only selected members can read it.
    • Public: anyone on the web can read it.
  3. Assign authors
    • You’re automatically an author.
    • Select additional authors, or enable Open Authoring so anyone with access can post.
  4. Click “Finish.” Your channel is live!

Your new channel now has its own news feed and calendar—ready for posts.
