+## Configuration
+
+### Channel Membership Requirements
+
+The bot supports optional channel membership requirements to encourage users to join your channel before using the bot:
+
+1. **Enable the feature** by setting `REQUIRE_CHANNEL_MEMBERSHIP=true` in your `.env` file
+2. **Set the channel** using `REQUIRED_CHANNEL_ID` with either:
+   - Public channel: `@your_channel_username`
+   - Private channel: `-1234567890123` (channel ID)
+
+When enabled, users who aren't members of the specified channel will receive a message prompting them to join before they can use the bot's features.
+
+### Getting Channel ID for Private Channels
+
+For private channels, you need the channel ID:
+
+1. Add your bot as an admin to the channel
+2. Forward a message from the channel to @userinfobot
+3. Use the channel ID (negative number) in your configuration
