Channels

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.
Since channels are designed for more public conversations, they can be found and joined by anyone on Facebook or Messenger. Learn more about how channels are different from the private chats you use to connect with family and friends, and different from community chats.
