Channels are team-specific sections that separate chats based on specific topics, jobs, subjects, or other criteria that work best for your team. SharePoint stores files shared in a channel (via the Files tab).

Channels are spaces where conversations occur, and tasks are completed. Channels can be made available to all team members (standard channels), selected team members (private channels), or individuals both within and outside the team (shared channels).
