The documentation is still using the v3 syntax.

From what I understood, the new syntax would be something like this

```auto
const params: GroupChannelCreateParams = {
	name: '',
	isDistinct: true,
	isStrict: true,
};

```

I’m also trying to find the equivalent of `params.addUserIds()` in v4, in the documentation there’s only `operatorUserIds`.

Thank you

Hey @hewong,

Thank you calling this out. I’ve raised it up to our team to get that corrected. In regards to `addUserIds()`, you’ll want to utilize `invitedUserIds: string[]`. I’m having this updated as well.

You can find a complete list of what params are accepted in the API Reference: [GroupChannelCreateParams | Sendbird Chat SDK Reference - v4.0.0-beta](https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/v4/javascript/ref/classes/module_groupChannelModule.GroupChannelCreateParams.html)

Hi @Tyler  
How to create a group channel using javascript instead of typescript using v4?
