# Add a Channel

Before you can add a channel to your application/bot, you need to add the channel to your Aisera tenant instance. See [**Channels**](/aisera-platform/channels.md) if you have not added channels to your tenant yet.

The Markdown text format is supported only in Webchat, Webex, and Co-Pilot; other channels treat content as HTML. Therefore, LLM responses are formatted as HTML for all channels where the Markdown format is not supported.
