Channels feature guide

Channels are a great way to organize your content in DISCO! 🗂️

At a glance

Channels are available to all DISCO users, regardless of plan type.

They're especially useful for organizing specific types of content, such as covers or instrumentals, a catalog or artist you represent, or a particular client or project. To keep things extra organized, you can also create Folders within Channels and Subfolders within Folders.

From the left sidebar of your DISCO

From the Channels section, click the + plus icon to Add new channel.

From any Playlist menu (⋮) or Track menu (⋮)

Open a Playlist menu (⋮) or Track menu (⋮) and select Add to channel.

From your account Settings

  1. In the top-right corner of your DISCO, open Settings (the person icon) and select Settings and Account.
  2. Under Workspace Settings, select Channels.
  3. Click the + plus icon on the top right.

Adding content to Channels and Folders
