# Create a stream
|
||||
|
||||
Streams can either be public to anyone in the organization, or require an
|
||||
invitation to join. Organization admins can always see the names and
|
||||
membership of private streams, but cannot read any of the messages.
|
||||
By default, anyone can create streams in a Zulip organization.
|
||||
|
||||
Organization administrators can
|
||||
[restrict stream creation](/help/configure-who-can-create-streams) to
|
||||
admins only, or to users meeting a minimum account age.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are an administrator setting up streams for the first time, we highly
|
||||
recommend reading our
|
||||
[guide to streams](/help/getting-your-organization-started-with-zulip#create-streams)
|
||||
first.
|
||||

||||

||||
## Create a stream
|
||||
|
||||
{!subscriptions.md!}
|
||||
{relative|stream|all}
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click the plus (<i class="icon-vector-plus"></i>) icon to the right of
|
||||
the **Filter streams** input.
|
||||
1. Click **Create stream** on the right.
|
||||
|
||||
!!! warn ""
|
||||
**Note:** If you do not see the plus
|
||||
(<i class="icon-vector-plus"></i>) icon, it
|
||||
is probably because your organization's administrators
|
||||
have disabled stream creation for ordinary users.
|
||||
If that's the case, then you need to ask them to
|
||||
allow ordinary users to create streams, or you will have
|
||||
to ask an administrator for help creating each particular stream.
|
||||
1. Fill out the requested info, and click **Create**.
|
||||
|
||||
4. After clicking the plus (<i class="icon-vector-plus"></i>) icon, at
|
||||
right side of the [Streams](/#streams) page, labeled
|
||||
**Create stream**, will now display options for creating a stream.
|
||||
!!! warn ""
|
||||
You will only see the **Create stream** button if you have
|
||||
permission to create streams.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Enter the title of your stream in the **Stream name** input.
|
||||
If you designate your stream as public, the **Stream name** will be
|
||||
displayed under the Streams on the left sidebar. Your stream name must
|
||||
be unique to all other stream names and can be no longer than
|
||||
60 characters.
|
||||
## Stream options
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip ""
|
||||
You can optionally enter a brief description of your stream in
|
||||
**Stream description** to give other users a general idea of
|
||||
what's being discussed in your stream. The description can be
|
||||
seen under the stream name in the stream overview.
|
||||
There are several parameters you can set while creating a stream. All but
|
||||
**Announce stream** you can change later.
|
||||
|
||||
7. The **Stream privacy** option controls the privacy of your
|
||||
stream. There are two options:
|
||||
* **Anybody can join** - This option makes your stream **public**
|
||||
and accessible to all users.
|
||||
* **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.
|
||||
|
||||
* **People must be invited** - This option makes your stream
|
||||
**private**. Only users you invite will be able to access this stream.
|
||||
Only the creator of the stream can invite new users this stream.
|
||||
* **Stream description**: Helps users decide whether to subscribe when they
|
||||
are browsing streams.
|
||||
|
||||
8. If your stream is public, you can choose to alert users about the new
|
||||
stream by clicking the **Announce stream** checkbox. Users who have been
|
||||
added to the new stream will always be notified, but if the
|
||||
**Announce stream** feature is enabled, all users will be notified
|
||||
of the stream's creation.
|
||||
* **Announce stream**: Posts a message to `#announce` advertising the new
|
||||
stream. Organization administrators can change the stream used for stream
|
||||
creation announcements in organization settings.
|
||||
|
||||
9. To automatically subscribe a user to your stream, scroll down to
|
||||
**People to add** and tick the checkboxes with the names of the users
|
||||
you want to add.
|
||||
* **Stream permissions**: See [Stream permissions](/help/stream-permissions).
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip ""
|
||||
To search for specific users, enter their usernames in the
|
||||
**Filter names** box.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Once you are ready to create your stream,
|
||||
click the **Create** button. The stream will now appear
|
||||
in the left sidebar for the users that you subscribed.
|
||||
* **People to add**: You can copy the membership from an existing stream, or
|
||||
enter users one by one.
