Channels, formerly called broadcast channels, are currently available to:
  • Pages with more than 10,000 followers
  • Profiles with professional mode turned on with more than 10,000 followers
If you have Facebook access with full or partial control of a Page, you can create channels on Facebook and Messenger. Channels allow you to share one-way messages like announcements, exclusive content and more with your community.
In channels, only people with full or partial control of a Page can send content. People who join a channel can read and react to messages in the channel, as well as vote in polls, but they cannot send messages.
If you create a channel on Facebook or Messenger, you are automatically the admin of that channel.
