Change a channel's description

{!admin-only.md!}

Channel descriptions can be used to explain the purpose of a channel, and link to usage guidelines, resources, or related channels. They appear in the navigation bar at the top of the web and desktop apps when you view the channel. You can hover over long channel descriptions with the mouse to view them in full.

Channel descriptions support Zulip's standard Markdown formatting, with the exception that image previews are disabled. Use Markdown formatting to include a link to a website, Zulip message, or topic in the channel description: [link text](URL).
