Create Chatter Streams

Create a Chatter stream to get a combined view of feeds from the profiles, groups, and records that you select. Include up to 25 feeds in each stream. Create up to 100 Chatter streams. You don’t have to follow a person, group, or record before you add it to a stream. The great thing about adding a feed to a stream is that it doesn’t count against the number of follows you’re allowed. You can create a Chatter stream from the Chatter home page, from the streams home page, and from a profile or record detail.

  • Create a Stream from the Chatter Home Page
    The Chatter home page lists up to five of your streams and provides a button for adding more.
  • Create a Stream from the Streams Home Page
    You can get to the streams home page by clicking the Streams heading on the Chatter home page. The Streams home page has controls for managing existing streams and making new ones.
  • Create a Stream from a Profile or Record Detail
    Once you create one stream, the Follow button on profile and record detail pages changes. A plus sign appears before the button label and more options become available for adding the profile or record feed to an existing stream. There’s also an option to add the feed to a stream that you create on the spot.
