# Making an Announcement
An announcement on Zulip is a message which will reach
all users organization-wide.
Announcements on Zulip are sent using the `#announce` stream.
1. To send an announcement, click the **New stream message**
button located at the bottom of your screen.
A box similar to the one shown in the below image will appear.

3. In the **Stream** field, input `announce` to select the `#announce` stream.
4. Enter the topic for your announcement in the **Topic** field.
!!! tip ""
Your topic name can be no longer than 52 characters.
5. Enter your announcement in the box labeled
**Compose your message here...** or messaging box.
6. Finally, you can now send your announcement by clicking the **Send** button.
You can always delete your announcement by
clicking the <i class="icon-vector-remove"></i> icon located at
the top-right corner of your messaging box.
Your announcement will look similar to the below image.

**Note:** By default all users are subscribed to the `#announce` stream but users can
unsubscribe from and mute the stream.
This means that announcements, although organization-wide, will not reach users
who have muted or unsubscribed from the `#announce` stream.
