Channel types

Copy link

Sendbird UIKit supports three types of channels: open channel, group channel, and Supergroup channel. To learn more about the different types of channels, see Channel types in Chat SDK.

Open channel

Copy link

An open channel is a public chat that allows a massive number of users to interact with one another in a more dynamic environment. Open channels can accommodate far more users compared to group channels and don’t require an invitation for users to enter.

Group channel

Copy link

A group channel is a chat that allows close interactions between a limited number of users. In order to join this type of channel, an invitation from a channel member is required by default.

Supergroup channel

Copy link

A Supergroup channel serves the same functions as a group channel, but it's a type of group channel that can accommodate more than 2,000 members. The maximum number of channel members can stretch up to tens of thousands depending on your Sendbird subscription plan.
