Hello peeps!
Today we are going to see about Channels in Cliq .
Channels is a medium for instant communication and collaboration with users in and out of your organization. Click on the ( +) of channels to create one.


Let's see in detail the types of Channels offered by Cliq.
Cliq offers 4 types of Channels: Organization, Team, Personal, and  External.
 
Organization: Anyone can create an Organization level channel. It can range from anything to everything. 
eg: #Announcements, #Technews, #Press, etc... 

By default, the org admin will be the super admin and creator will be the admin of the channel.
Note: If your admin has enabled the Organization Policy for channels to be approved, then the channels you create will have to undergo the approval process.
Team: Team channels are channels in which only the team members will be able to view and join. Anyone can create team channels for their team.
eg: A team can have various channels under it like #Decisions, #Issues, #Support, etc...

By default, team admin will be the super admin and creator will be the admin for the channel. 
Note: You should be part of a group to create a team channel. If your org does not have Groups, then refer here to create one.
 
MultiTeam: These channels can have more than one team in it. The creator should be part of multiple teams to create this channel.
 
Personal: Anyone can create personal channels. Only the users who are added will be able to see the channel. 
eg: #Lunch-gang, #Project157, etc...
The creator will be the super admin and will also have permission to assign another user as super admin.
 
External: In this channel, one can invite users from other organizations to join the channel. Anyone can create an external channel. This channel will be visible only to the added users.
eg: #Partner-meet, #Orlando-meet, etc...
The creator is the super admin and has permission to assign another user as super admin.
  Note: Creating an external channel depends on the Organization Policy set by your company admin.


So here we are now, at the end of this announcement. Hope Y'all found this interesting and useful.
Do get back for further queries, and DON'T FORGET to create Channels.
