Administrators can configure the default for whether topics are required in channel messages (i.e., whether it's possible to send messages to the “general chat” topic).

The default configuration can be overridden for any channel. You can also configure channels to allow only the “general chat” topic.

Set the default general chat topic configuration

<AdminOnly /> <FlattenedSteps> <NavigationSteps target="settings/organization-settings" />
  1. Under Compose settings, select the desired option from the Default general chat topic configuration for channels dropdown.
<SaveChanges /> </FlattenedSteps>

Configure permission to post to “general chat” in a specific channel

<Tabs> <TabItem label="Desktop/Web"> <FlattenedSteps> <NavigationSteps target="relative/channel/all" /> 
  1. Select a channel.

  <SelectChannelViewPermissions />

  1. Under **Messaging permissions**, choose the desired option from the **Allow
     posting to the *general chat* topic?** dropdown.

  <SaveChanges />
</FlattenedSteps>
