<p>Channels are a tool for <strong>broadcasting</strong> your public messages to large audiences. They offer a unique opportunity to reach people <strong>directly</strong>, sending a notification to their phones with each post.</p>
<p>Telegram Channels can have an <strong>unlimited amount of subscribers</strong>, and only <strong>admins</strong> have the right to post. Unlike <a href="/tour/groups">Telegram Groups</a>, channels show the name and photo of the <em>channel</em> next to messages instead of the person who posted them. </p>

<p>Media organizations and public figures use channels to stay in touch with their readers, voters and fans. For some real-life examples, check out <a href="https://t.me/s/bloomberg">@Bloomberg</a>, the <a href="https://t.me/s/corona">Coronavirus Info</a> channel, or join the official <a href="https://t.me/s/telegram">@Telegram</a> channel covering our updates.</p>
<p>To <strong>create your own channel</strong>, open the “New Message” menu on Telegram and choose “New Channel”. Newly created channels start as <strong>private</strong> but you can edit their profile to make them <strong>public</strong>.</p>
<p>The contents of public channels can be seen on the Web without a Telegram account and are <strong>indexed</strong> by search engines. For example, try <a href="https://t.me/s/FinancialTimes">t.me/s/FinancialTimes</a>.</p>
