# Create a stream
In Zulip, streams are like mailing lists in an email tool; each stream
has a set of subscribers. Your current subscriptions are visible in
the left sidebar. Streams can be either:
Streams can either be public to anyone in the organization, or require an
invitation to join. Organization admins can always see the names and
membership of invite-only streams, but cannot read any of the messages.
* **Public streams** - Public streams are for open discussions. All
users can subscribe to public streams and discuss there.
* **Private streams** - Private streams are for confidential
discussions and are only visible to users who've been invited to
subscribe to them.
If you are an administrator setting up streams for the first time, we highly
recommend reading our
[guide to streams](/help/getting-your-organization-started-with-zulip#create-streams)
first.
