What admins of Instagram broadcast channels can do

As the channel admin, you can:
- Change the channel name or theme
- Share to your story
- Invite or remove collaborators
- Invite or remove moderators
- Unsend a message you’ve sent
- Delete the broadcast channel
- Hide reactions

- Tap Custom to upload your own image and create a custom theme.
To share your channel to a story- After you create your channel, tap Share to story at the top of the channel. You can also find this by tapping the channel name at the top of your conversation, then tapping Share to story.
