Perhaps it’s just me, but I find the new channel button rather inconspicuous. The “Start a personal Chat” button is much more prominent though I clicked on the edit button next to channels. Maybe a + New channel button could be added for staff after “No channels found.”

That’s a nice suggestion, we should make it easier to set up new channels from this screen.
