Hiding Channels

Hiding a channel removes it from query channel requests for that user until a new message is added. Only channel members can hide a channel.

Hidden channels may still have unread messages. Consider marking the channel as read before hiding it.

You can optionally clear the message history for that user when hiding. When a new message is received, it will be the only message visible to that user.

Hide a Channel

# Get a channel
channel = client.chat.channel("messaging", "general")

# Hide the channel until a new message is added
channel.hide(user_id="john")

# Show a previously hidden channel
channel.show(user_id="john")
