With Status, you can organize your conversations with community members into designated spaces called [channels](channels-your-quick-start-guide.md). Channels bring the right people and information together for a common purpose, like a specific project or topic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All members of a [community](about-status-communities.md) can browse and join public channels. For private channels, you must [meet the requirements](understand-token-requirements-in-channels.md) to join the channel. To maintain access to private channels, hold the necessary tokens at all times.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Join a public channel
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All members can join channels that don't have a :mobile-locked-lock: lock icon next to their names. When you join a community, you automatically get access to these channels.
