Adding & Removing Channel Members

Confused about "Adding & Removing Channel Members "?

Let us know how we can improve our documentation:

Using the addMembers() method adds the given users as members, while removeMembers() removes them.

Note: You can only add/remove up to 100 members at once.

Members can also be added while creating the channel.

Stream Chat has a soft cap of 3000 channel memberships per user. If your use case requires >3000 channel memberships per user, consider removing users from channels or using elevated permissions to allow a user to access channels without membership if your use case allows

Message parameter

You can optionally include a message object that client-side SDKs will use to populate a system message. This works for both add and remove members

Hide history

When members join a channel you can specify if they have access to the history or not. The history will be shown by default, set true to hide_history parameter to hide it for new members.
