Create a channel sample code

In the case that there is already an existing channel with the same channelID, the API will throw an error.

The channelId parameter can be nil. When this happens, the SDK will generate a unique channelId for this channel, ensuring no unique ID conflicts.

Conversation channel is unique based on its membership. When creating conversation, the system will check if a channel with the same membership already exists. If such channel already exists, the system will return existing channel instead of creating a new one.

Create Broadcast channel

Creating a Broadcast channel is not supported in the SDK. You can create a channel of type Broadcast in console. Refer to this page for the instructions.
