To do so, click on the + icon on the right of TEXT CHANNELS and name the channel. Choose whether you want to set up a text or voice channel. (You can also make the channel private if you wish to share it only with the allowed users).

Finally, check the box in the upper right corner once you’re done, and you will be taken to the channel's main screen. You can always make custom changes from the settings.
