Channels

The Channels window lists the chat channels that the server offers and shows the one you are in. The title names your channel after the word CHANNELS. A tick stands at the right end of the row of the channel you are in.

You can be in one channel at a time. Joining another leaves the last one.

Channels, joined — The Channels window with seven channels listed. The player is in Trade, so the title reads CHANNELS - Trade and a tick stands beside Trade. Leave and Create stand at the foot.

Opening it

The Channels action, in the Menu Actions group of the Actions window, opens the window and closes it again. You can put the action on a hotbar.
The Channels entry in the chat menu opens it too. The chat menu opens from the button on the chat line, and from Shift+right-click on the chat.
The window closes when you open it again from either, and a right-click anywhere on the window closes it.

Using it

Double-click a channel to join it. Double-clicking the channel you are already in does nothing.
Hover over a channel to read what a double-click will do.
Click Leave to come out of your channel. The button shows only while you are in one.
Click Create to type a name for a new channel. A blank name is not sent.
Roll the mouse wheel over the list to scroll it.
Drag the corner grip to resize the window.
Right-click to close the window.
