Join Requests. Enable admin approval for additional links to your group or channel so you can preview potential members before they are able to access the chat.
With these links you can create and join special closed chats – like a group just for superfans, or a channel with exclusive content. Users opening these links send a join request, which admins can manage from a banner at the top of the chat.
