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?

I agree with Tyler_OConnell about a status update, particularly that it seemed to have some immediate attention. Any news, Marc Mroz?
Bill BlaisI had contact with our Premier Support Engineer @Microsoft. They say still not available...
Stephan Jola Thanks for the update. I assume there was not even a vague ETA / priority in their response, right?
The best work around I can find is to make several users Stream Admins, it may not do what you want exactly but it's better than nothing. Please see below for instructions.
