# Create a stream
|
|
|
|
By default, all users other than guests can create streams.
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can
|
|
[restrict stream creation](/help/configure-who-can-create-streams) to
|
|
admins only, moderators only or to members meeting a minimum account age.
|
|
|
|
If you are an administrator setting up streams for the first time, check out our
|
|
[guide to setting up streams for a new organization][org-guide-new-streams].

## Stream options
|
|
|
|
There are several parameters you can set while creating a stream. All but
|
|
**Announce stream** you can change later.
|
|
|
|
* **Stream name**: Appears in the left sidebar for subscribed users. The
|
|
stream name can be in any language, and can include spaces and other
|
|
punctuation.
|
|
|
|
* **Stream description**: Helps users decide whether to subscribe when they
|
|
are browsing streams.
|
|
|
|
* **Announce stream**: Posts a message to `#general` advertising the new
|
|
stream. Organization administrators can change the stream used for stream
|
|
creation announcements.
|
|
|
|
* **Stream permissions**: See [Stream permissions](/help/stream-permissions).
|
|
|
|
* **People to add**: You can copy the membership from an existing stream, or
|
|
enter users one by one.
