How to Make a Discord Channel on a Computer and a Mobile Device

When Discord users build servers, the programme creates a few text and voice channels for them automatically. Members use the text channels to communicate messages, photographs, and videos, while the voice channels are used for screen sharing, video/audio chatting, and streaming. Usually, this is enough to bring the server to a halt. For individuals who need to create separate channels for different purposes, creating additional channels is simple.

In addition, setting up a Discord channel is a rather simple process. A user must, however, have administrator capabilities before they may start a channel. Here's how to make a Discord channel on your computer and mobile device.

HOW DO I MAKE A DISCORD CHANNEL ON MY COMPUTER?

For better organising, you can divide Discord conversations into subjects. The channels must, however, be text-based or voice-based. Here's how to make a new Discord channel from your computer:

Step 1: On your PC, click on the Start menu and search for Discord.

Step 2: Click on the Discord app from the results.

Step 3: When the Discord app launches, click on the relevant server on the left column where  you want add the new channel.

Step 4: If your new channel is primarily text-based, click on the ‘+’ beside Text Channels to make a new one. However, if your new channel is predominantly voice, click on the ‘+’ beside Voice Channels to make a new voice channel.

Step 5: You can still alter the channel type from Voice to Text or vice versa in the dialogue box for creating a new channel. Fill in the Channel Name form with the name of your new channel.

Step 6: If you want the channel to be visible only to select individuals, click on the toggle beside Private Channel.

Step 7: To make your changes take effect, click Create Channel.

Right-click on the gear beside the channel name, then select Edit Channel to edit the channel's parameters, such as the name, permissions, and integrations. You should be able to delete the channel as well.
