Can Channel owners be changed?
I can't find a way to make another user an owner of an already created channel. What happens to a channel when their owner leaves the organization? Even if it continues working it looks pretty lame ...
You are correct we do not have a way to change the channel owner. We display the person that created the channel originally.
For group channels any of the contributors to the group can change channel settings/add/delete them.
But for companywide channels only the person who created the channel and the Stream Admins can change infoabout or delete the channel.
This isn't ideal, I agree with you.
Could you add your ideas about what we should do with channel onwners/creators to the Stream Ideas forum so others can vote/comment on them?

This is not good. If the person who created the channel leaves the organisation, who will then have access to keep working on it?
