# Channel Creation Journey
* To create a new channel, click the pen icon in the **Messages** tab and select **New Channel**.
* Step 1 is to provide a name for the channel.
* Step 2 is to select the privacy settings for the channel. They can choose between **Shared**, where anyone in their workspace can join without approval, or **Invite Only**, where only invited users can join.
* Step 3 is to choose the **Default AI Persona** for the channel.
* Once the Persona is selected, it can be set to **Autopilot**, **Co-pilot**, or **Off**.
* The user can also adjust the AI Response Threshold before completing the channel setup.
* Once the channel is created, users can always return to the channel settings to update the initial settings or modify other options.
* Under the **About** tab, the channel name and privacy settings can be modified.
* By scrolling down in the **About** tab, the channel description and guidelines can be configured.
* Under the **Default AI** tab, the default AI can be switched. Settings such as AI reply preferences, mention-based responses, default messages, fallback suggestions, voice responses, and AI response threshold can also be configured.
* Advanced settings, including image and voice responses, can also be configured.
* Under the **Personas** tab, additional Personas can be added to the channel to utilize the AI mentions feature.
* Under the **Members** tab, workspace members can be added to the channel. Use the dropdown menu to assign roles; granting a member the **Manager** role allows them to modify channel settings.

* From there, you can view the channels you've joined that are available for adding others.
* Select the channel you want to add the user to by clicking the icon next to their name.
