**Note: You will only be able to add contacts to a Channel if you are the Channel owner or if the Channel owner has given you permission to add contacts to the Channel.
There are two ways to add contacts to a Channel:
1. If they are a new contact, you can add the contact directly to a Channel by clicking the avatar entitled Add.
From here, you will be prompted to enter the contact’s full name and email. Choose their channel permissions, then click the Add Person button to complete the process.
2. If the user has previously been added to a channel, they will automatically be added to the Your Contacts panel. Navigate to the left side menu and click Contacts. Locate the contact you wish to add to the Channel and drag them to the Channel area.
**Tip: When you add a new contact to a Channel their information will be automatically added to Your Contacts panel so you don't have to input their information every time you need to share with them.
Find out what a new contact sees once you add them to a Channel.
