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

// Hide a channel
await channel.HideAsync();

// Show previously hidden channel
await channel.ShowAsync();
Info:

You can still retrieve the list of hidden channels using the { "hidden" : true } query parameter.
