# Create a stream
|
|
|
|
By default, all users other than guests can create streams. Administrators can
|
|
[restrict the ability to create a stream](/help/stream-permissions) to specific
|
|
[roles](/help/roles-and-permissions).
|
|
|
|
If you are an administrator setting up streams for the first time, check out our
|
|
[guide to setting up streams for a new organization](/help/create-streams).
|
|
|
|
## Create a stream
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{relative|stream|all}
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Create stream** on the right.
|
|
|
|
1. Fill out the requested info, and click **Create**.
|

|
|
|
|
**Note**: You will only see the **Create stream** button if you have
|
|
permission to create streams.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
* **Who can access the stream?**: See [Stream permissions](/help/stream-permissions).
|
|
|
|
* **Announce stream**: Posts a message to `#general` advertising the new
|
|
stream. Organization administrators can change the stream used for stream
|
|
creation announcements.
|
|
|
|
* **Who can post to the stream?**: See [Stream permissions](/help/stream-permissions).
|
|
|
|
* **Choose subscribers**: You can copy the membership from an existing stream or
|
|
[user group](/help/user-groups), add all users, or enter users one by one.
