* Options will open up to create:
  * Private Channel: Only visible to specified members
  * Public Channel: Open to all organization.
  * Read Only Channel: Suitable for announcements and voting
  * Broadcast Channel: Essentially the Read only channel but with certain rights and permissions.
    * Users without permission (the same one to post on read-only channels) inside this channel won’t be able to see each other in the user list.
    * Users without permission won’t be able to react to messages.
    * Every message contains a reply button that redirects the user to a direct message with the user that posted the message.
* This channel cannot be converted to a read-only or open channel again.
* Create Channel Name.
* And Invite users you want to include in the channel.
