Unsubscribe from a stream

If you want to stop receiving messages from a particular stream in Zulip, you can choose to unsubscribe from that stream.

There are two major ways to unsubscribe from a stream: unsubscribing from a stream through the stream browser and unsubscribing from a stream through the stream sidebar.

If you want to unsubscribe from multiple streams at once, you should unsubscribe from streams through the stream browser.
