Tips » Joining, accessing and managing channel membership

A Webjam channel is a hub for Webjammers who share a specific interest. For more information about channels read the Webjam Blog post or read on for information about joining, accessing and managing channel memberships.

Joining:

1. Explore the channels: Arts, Charity, Family Life and Football and see which one you like
2. Click the ‘join this channel’ button on the channel homepage
3. Choose if you want to submit your webjam or just become a member

Also note that if you replicate a channel template you are automatically a member of that channel. In addition when you create a new webjam we ask you to choose a channel so every webjam is a member of a channel (not all channels are live yet).

Channels have an editor and can be private, members only or public. With some channels you may need to ‘request to join’, or you may be allowed to join immediately, depending on the settings of the channel.

Access:
In your settings tab on your webjam, instead of the (former) category you have a new tab – ‘Channel’ that lists the channel your webjam is affiliated to.

In the My memberships lightbox you now have two mini tabs: Webjams and Channels. The Channels tab lists all the channels you are a member of.

In the Activity lightbox you now have an option to view the activity of your friends and webjams you are a member of (this remains as it was before) or the activity of a specific channel you are a member of.

To view the available channels you can start from the Templates page or click on the images below:

Management:
To remove your webjam from a channel: on your webjam, go to 'settings' then the Channel tab and click on the red X.
To delete your membership of a channel: click the 'webjams' link in the top bar, then choose the My memberships tab then the 'Channels' link to view all the channels you are a member of, click on the red X to remove your membership of a specific channel.
