How to create a read-only channel on Discord

Discord is one of the most functional platforms to create servers and chat, voice and video channels in order to interact with thousands of users with hundreds of applications, this allows us to have total control over who can have access to the channels as well as define their permissions, just one of the Discord options is to create a read-only channel with which guests can access the channel but not make changes, let's see how to create this read-only channel in Discord ..

 

With this read-only channel, users could read the content that is added to this chat, but they will not be able to respond, so creating a channel of information and notifications to users in Discord is really useful avoiding saturation of conversations.
