|
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

**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.
