This has cropped up a couple of times in ~chat-feedback now where the ‘Leave Chat’ button is too hidden to find easily. One of the suggestions is to add it next to where you would find the ‘Join’ button, as well as adding a cross to the sidebar like Personal Chats: Originally sent in [chat feedback](https://meta.discourse.org/chat/c/-/129) ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/bartv/48/130052_2.png) bartv I can't figure out how to leave a channel? ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/jammydodger/48/254611_2.png) JammyDodger If you click on the channel title, and then flip to the About tab, you should see the option to Leave in there 👍 For Personal Chat you can press the x icon next to the chat title, but this is [currently only available on desktop](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-leave-chat-cross-to-mobile-view/234826) ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/bartv/48/130052_2.png) bartv Thanks! I clicked the pencil next to 'channels' and was expecting an option to leave on that page somewhere: ![image.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/1/3/7133093d5b4f36c63ba35af63896e055ee8a7ce3.png) ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/jammydodger/48/254611_2.png) JammyDodger That does make sense to have one next to the 'join/joined' button Originally sent in [chat feedback](https://meta.discourse.org/chat/c/-/129) ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/xan2622/48/156912_2.png) xan2622 Hi. How does one leave a (chat) channel ? I can see "Join" buttons, but not "leave" buttons. ![image.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/7/7/d77dc62480f344291272c65b7a2bbeb383e1c076.png) Also, on the left sidebar, when I hover the channel with my mouse cursor, I expected a [X] button to appear but there's none. ![image.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/e/4/2/e4298f87c4c8b94b411f05bdd4606a74d43325bc.png) ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/jammydodger/48/254611_2.png) JammyDodger For the public channels you can leave them from the channel's About tab - [https://meta.discourse.org/chat/channel/129/chat-feedback/info/about](https://meta.discourse.org/chat/channel/129/chat-feedback/info/about) You can navigate to there by clicking on the channel's title ![](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/meta/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/xan2622/48/156912_2.png) xan2622 Thank you. It's a ~~little bit~~ too "hidden", IMO --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/making-leave-chat-more-discoverable/239844)._
