  2. Select the ellipsis (...) next to the team name and choose  Add channel icon Add channel.

  3. Enter a Channel name and an optional Description.

  4. Choose Standard or Private under Choose a channel type, and then select Create. Depending on your permissions, you may or may not have a privacy setting. Note that only team owners can create Shared channels.
