Create an open channel

Create a open channel by using the Sendbird Dashboard, iOS Chat SDK or the Chat Platform API.


Instead of creating an open channel directly in UIKit, try using one of the following three methods to create a channel instance for UIKit.

  • Sendbird Dashboard
  • Sendbird Chat SDK for iOS
  • Platform API

Sendbird Dashboard allows you to create an open channel in a most simple way.
