A **Telegram channel** is a form of one-way messaging where admins are able to post messages to an unlimited number of subscribers which can't directly answer. The creator of a channel can add for every post a discussion section where the subscribers can talk about it.

If you are using Telegram for PC then the procedure is very simple: click on the icon on the top left and then on **New channel**.
    If, on the other hand, you are using Telegram for Android, click on the pencil at the bottom right and then again on **New channel**.
    Finally, if you use Telegram for iPhone you need to press the pencil icon at the top right and then again on **New channel**.
    Now you are ready to [add the bot Channel Help](/guides/add-bot-to-channel) in your newly created channel!
    

Telegram channel

To add the bot to a [Telegram channel](/guides/telegram-channel) that has already been created, go to the Channel Help chat, click on the bot name and then on the **Add to group or channel** button.
      Subsequently, you will have to select the channel in which to add it, choose the permissions of the bot and press the **Add bot as admin** button.
      For Channel Help to work properly it must have the following permissions:
      • **Post messages**
      • **Edit messages of others**
      • **Delete messages of others**
      • **Add members**

Depending on the situation, it may be convenient to get help from someone to manage your channel, or to add a user as an administrator. To do this, go to the channel chat, click on the name, then on the **Administrators** button and finally search for the user to be promoted by his name or username. Finally, you need to decide your permissions and click on the checkbox at the top right.
    From this moment on, that user will also be able to use Channel Help to manage the channel, depending however on the permissions assigned to him. In fact, for each admin it is possible to assign 5 permissions that will allow him to manage certain options depending on which ones have been chosen.
    • **Post messages:** with this permission enabled the admin will be able to create posts in the channel. This is the main permission to assign to an admin; without it he will not be able to use any feature of the bot.
    • **Edit messages of others:** with this permission enabled, the admin can modify any post in the channel from the "My posts" menu. Otherwise, he will only be able to edit the posts he has created.
    • **Delete messages of others:** with this permission enabled the admin will be able to delete any post in the channel from the "My Posts" menu. Otherwise, he can only delete the posts he created.
    • **Add members:** with this permission enabled the admin will be able to manage the welcome in the channel.
    • **Add new admins:** with this active permission the admin can promote other users to actual admins or virtual admins.
