### How do I share my Meshtastic Channel with other people?
|
|
|
|
Your Meshtastic client (Android, Web, or Python) will provide you a URL or QR code. You can email, text or print this URL or QR code and share it with people you want to join your Meshtastic Channel. Note: This feature is not yet available on the iOS app.

This is the first channel that's created for you when you initially setup your Meshtastic Channel.

As this is a new feature, secondary channels work on the device and the Python Script. Support for secondary channels by other clients is pending. [See further details here](/docs/software/device/device-channels#how-to-use-secondary-channels).
