# [Zello Feature: Channel Types](https://blog.zello.com/push-to-talk-app-channel-types)

Work groups are not uniform – they vary in industry, size, geographical distribution, work environment, composition, roles and responsibilities.

Zello's push-to-talk app supports three formal channel types, and one informal channel type. Click each type to learn how to use them in your business:

### **[Team Channels](https://blog.zello.com/push-to-talk-app-versatile-channels?hsLang=en)**

This channel type is for groups that routinely talk among themselves in both one-on-one and one-to-many conversations.

### [**Dynamic Channels**](https://blog.zello.com/push-to-talk-app-business-feature-dynamic-channels?hsLang=en)

These channels work great when occasional cross-group interaction is a priority.

### [**Hidden Channels**](https://blog.zello.com/push-to-talk-app-hidden-channels?hsLang=en)

This type of channel is ideal for groups whose members always connect one-to-one. 

### [**Ad Hoc Channels**](https://blog.zello.com/push-to-talk-app-ad-hoc-channels?hsLang=en)

This is for when people need to set up their own temporary channels on the fly.
