# Send text and attachments

In addition to voice-based communication over a push-to-talk channel, you can also send text messages with picture attachments on a channel. Here's how to do it.

**Step 1:** Open a Group on the Talker app. Click on the messenger icon.

**Step 2:** Enter the message and click on the Send icon.

That is how you can send a message in a channel on Talker. Here's how you can send a picture on Talker chat.
