Preview members are a small set of members attached to a channel object for compact UI surfaces such as channel rows, headers, and avatar stacks. In the current public SDKs, direct channel-level preview members are exposed by TypeScript and iOS. Android and Flutter do not expose a direct previewMembers channel property, so use Query Channel Members and render the first few results when you need the same UI pattern.
