How to Create Facebook Channel

If you have Facebook access with full or partial control of a Page, you can create broadcast channels on Facebook and Messenger. Broadcast channels allow you to share one-way messages, such as announcements, exclusive content and more with your community.

In broadcast channels, only people with full or partial control of a Page can send content. People who join a broadcast 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 broadcast channel on Facebook or Messenger, you are automatically the admin of that channel. Learn more about managing broadcast channels.

Note: Your followers will not be notified to join your channel until you've sent the first message.
