Create channel

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a new channel in a team, as specified in the request body. When you create a channel, the maximum length of the channel's displayName is 50 characters. This is the name that appears to the user in Microsoft Teams.

If you're creating a private channel, you can add a maximum of 200 members.

Note

Some special characters in the channel name will cause the Get filesFolder API to return an error. For details, see Known issues.

Permissions

One of the following permissions is required to call this API. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Permission type	Permissions (from least to most privileged)
Delegated (work or school account)	Channel.Create, Group.ReadWrite.All**, Directory.ReadWrite.All**
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.
Application	Channel.Create.Group*, Channel.Create, Teamwork.Migrate.All, Group.ReadWrite.All**, Directory.ReadWrite.All**

Notes: Permissions marked with ** are supported only for backward compatibility. We recommend that you update your solutions to use an alternative permission listed in the previous table and avoid using these permissions going forward. Permissions marked with * use resource-specific consent.

This API supports admin permissions. Global admins and Microsoft Teams service admins can access teams that they are not a member of.

In the future, Microsoft may require you or your customers to pay additional fees based on the amount of data imported using Teamwork.Migrate.All and/or migration APIs.

HTTP request

POST /teams/{team-id}/channels

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of channel object.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and a channel object in the response body for a channel with a membershipType value of standard or private. For a channel with a membershipType value of shared, this method returns a 202 Accepted response code and a link to the teamsAsyncOperation.
