-Channels are a `topic` you define when you initialize your Supabase Realtime client. Everyone connected to the same Channel will receive the same messages.
+You can uniquely reference a channel by its `topic` you define when you initialize your Supabase Realtime client. Everyone connected to the same Channel topic will receive the same messages.
