Telegram Groups work but Channels get no response

[quartz fractal]

I have openclaw installed and it is connected to Telegram. I have the bot setup to respond without a direct mention in all groups. The bot will respond in any group I create but it doesn't respond in the channel I created. I have verified that the bot is an admin in the channel. Is there a different setting on the bot that needs to be updated to participate in channels?
