Add or remove users from a stream
Add users to a stream
By default, anyone (other than guests) subscribed to a stream can add users to that stream. Additionally, anyone (other than guests) can add users to a public stream, whether or not they are subscribed to the stream.
Organization administrators can configure which roles have access to add other users to a stream.
{start_tabs}
{relative|stream|all}
- Select a stream.
{!select-stream-view-subscribers.md!}
-
Under Add subscribers, enter a name or email address. The typeahead will only include users who aren't already subscribed to the stream.
-
Click Add.
{end_tabs}
!!! tip ""
To add users in bulk, you can copy members from an
existing stream or [user group](/help/user-groups).

Mentioning a user in the compose box (alternate method)
When you mention a user while composing a message, an alert banner appears above the compose box if they are not subscribed to the stream.
Click the Subscribe them button on the banner to add the user to the stream. You will not see the button if you don't have permission to subscribe the user.
!!! tip ""
You do not have to send the message you are composing for
the user to be subscribed this way.
