Preview our Channel on a Web Browser without having a Telegram Account
To join our Telegram channel officially, you need to have a Telegram account. In case you do not have a Telegram account and you do not wish to create a Telegram account for yourself, you don't have to worry about it. This is because all the important information about our mathematics championships will still be updated on our official website.
Besides, you can actually access the contents of our Telegram channel without having a Telegram account. Just open your web browser and visit t.me/gohmaths. After that, click "Preview channel", but not the "View in Telegram" button, as you do not have the Telegram app installed on your device. Then, you will be able to access the contents of our Telegram channel on your web browser without having a Telegram account. This should work on laptops, tablets and mobile phones, as long as the device does not have the Telegram app installed and you are not signed in to a Telegram account on that device.
