Meanwhile, the header text string can be customized through the renderMiddle function.

import SendbirdProvider from "@sendbird/uikit-react/SendbirdProvider";
import GroupChannelList from '@sendbird/uikit-react/GroupChannelList';
import GroupChannelListHeader from '@sendbird/uikit-react/GroupChannelList/components/GroupChannelListHeader';

const ChannelListPage = () => {
  return (
    <GroupChannelList
      renderHeader={() => (
        <GroupChannelListHeader
          // Render nothing to hide the button.
          renderLeft={() => {}}
          // Change the header text string.
          renderMiddle={() => (
            <Header.Title
              title={
                <Label
                  type=""
                  color=""
                >
                  "New title here"
                </Label>
              }
            />
          )}
          // Change the right-top corner button.
          renderRight={() => (
            <Header.IconButton
              type="INFO"
              color="CONTENT"
              renderIcon={(props) => (

                  height="24px"
                  onClick={() => {}}
                />
              )}
            />
          )}
        />
      )}
    />
  );

function App() {
  return (
    // The chat interface can expand up to the dimensions of your parent component.
    // To achieve a full-screen mode, apply the following CSS rules to the parent element.
    <div style={{ width:'100vw', height:'100vh' }}>
      <SendbirdProvider
        // Your Sendbird application ID can be found on Sendbird dashboard. 
        appId={'SENDBIRD_APPLICATION_ID'}
        // Specify the user ID you've created on the dashboard.
        // Or you can create a user by specifying a unique userId.  
        userId={'USER_ID'}
      >
        <ChannelListPage /> 
      </SendbirdProvider>
    </div>
