Change the stream description

Note: Only administrators can change a stream's description.

To change a stream's description, you'll first need to access your current stream subscriptions. You can do this by clicking on the settings cog at the top of your streams list on the left.

(You can also access current stream subscriptions by clicking on Manage Streams from the settings cog () in the top right.)

A window with your current stream subscriptions will appear. From the left, select the stream whose description you'd like to change.

Under Administrator settings on the right, there is a field with the current stream description. Change your stream's description in this field, and click Change stream description to save the change.
