How to leave a channel
Leaving a channel is yours to do and does not need anybody's permission.
Step by step
-
Open the channel
From Channels in the sidebar.
-
Use its menu
Leave is there.
-
You are out
It disappears from your list and stops notifying you.
-
Rejoin with the link if you change your mind
A public channel's link still works; a private one needs the invite again.
Worth knowing
- Muting is the alternative if the problem is volume rather than the space itself.
- Leaving a private channel means needing the invite link again to return.
- What you posted stays in the channel. Leaving removes you, not your contributions.
Questions
Can the channel owner stop me leaving?
No.
Will people be told I left?
Membership changes are visible in the channel.
Can I delete my posts before I go?
You can unsent individual messages, which leaves a note that a message was unsent.
