Create channel

Article
08/23/2023

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

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 display name appears to the user in Microsoft Teams.

You can add a maximum of 200 members when you create a private channel.

Note

Some special characters in the channel name cause the Get filesFolder API to return an error. For details, see Known issues.
When you create a private/shared channel, the SharePoint site might fail to provision. If the site fails to provision after 5 minutes, use the Get filesFolder API to trigger provisioning.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

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

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Channel.Create	Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Channel.Create.Group	Channel.Create, Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Teamwork.Migrate.All

Note

The Channel.Create.Group permission uses resource-specific consent.
The Group.ReadWrite.All and Directory.ReadWrite.All permissions 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.

Note: 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. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

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

If the request is unsuccessful, this method returns a 400 Bad Request response code. The following are common reasons for this response:

createdDateTime is set in the future.
createdDateTime is correctly specified but the channelCreationMode instance attribute is missing or set to an invalid value.

Examples

Example 1: Create a standard channel

Request

The following example shows a request to create a standard channel.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
