Leave a channel

In Slack, work happens in channels – organised spaces for everything related to a project, topic or team. If a channel is no longer relevant, you can leave it at any time. Here are a few things to bear in mind:

• No one can leave the general channel.
• Single-channel guests can't leave the channel that they have access to.
• Multi-channel guests can leave private channels, but must be removed from public channels by an owner or admin. To rejoin any channel, they must be added back.
