    Great video! I have multiple groups which have some members overlapping (one or more persons are in more than one of said groups). If I create a community with these groups, will the overlapping members just receive one message or will they receive the same message the same number of times they each overlap from the different groups?

    Very helpful thanks Meg 😍. I just created and used my first community for Scouts adding in about 15 WhatsApp groups. Took a little while but worth the effort because now everyone receives new information at the same time as each other. I also used the QR codes to create an info graphic to make joining effortless.

    Hi there, thank you for your post. Just as a matter of interest can I use the Community/group set-up as a way to follow threads and discussions. Eg. I have run an online Bible Study and and currently using Google Meets and then I use my WhatsApp group for announcements and also discussions but as you would imagine it its difficult following threads of different questions asked and the discussions around these? I remember a few years back coming across an app that was specifically developed around that scenario but that app has since disappeared like the disappearing messages 🤷‍♂

    Some questions: Joining a community is still based on a phonenumber, right? So when I make a community I need phonenumbers from all members? Or can I send invites by email for example? And when I add members, can they see phonenumbers from other members like in the WhatsApp group option? Why I am asking. I wanna start up a community with different groups for workshops. But the members/clients don't know each other so I wanna take care of their privacy.

    I've created a community group with chat groups A, B & C. Whenever chat group A people text each other within their own chat, it pings a message notification on the community group instead of their own chat group A. This can be confusing as it gives the impression that the message was sent to the community group by admin. And implication is, all the ppl may be concerned if their messaging activities are also seen by others. And then also when there’s a new message on a group, you open the community first and then the group chat. How to get the individual chat groups' text stay out of the community radar and appears only in their own chat groups?

    #feelingold If I am creating a community from scratch, and groups from scratch, would I start by adding my members to the group? Would they then by default be members of the community? I obviously want all members to receive the announcements, which ever group they are in. Or do I need to add them to the community, then they decide on the group they want to join?

Just slightly concerned about setting one up and the privacy settings. If someone is in group A can they see that Group B exists? Can they see the posts in Group B, can they see the members in Group B? Thanks

    So I have multiple groups for my online coaching business. If I add them to a community I don’t want people to be able to choose a group that they can join as I’ve specifically put people into different groups. I also don’t want people to be able to see what goes into individual groups unless they are a member. Is this possible?
