# Task Channel resource

## Overview

Task Channels provide a mechanism to separate tasks of different types.

You can specify different concurrent capacity for tasks of each type. For example, one Worker might be able to handle 10 SMS Tasks at any given time, but only a single phone call Task. When MultiTasking is enabled, you can specify the task type by passing the Unique Name or SID of the Task Channel. For details on limitations around the Task Channel Unique Name, see the FAQ on the [Multitasking](/docs/taskrouter/multitasking) page.

## TaskChannel Properties

> \[!WARNING]
>
> Task Channel `friendlyName` and `uniqueName` values do not support hyphens. Using hyphens may cause a parsing error.

> \[!WARNING]
>
> Don't use the `page` query parameter with this resource. Pagination isn't supported.
