Everything You Want To Know About Facebook Groups

Facebook has launched a new feature known as Groups at an event at Palo Alto, California. By using this feature you can add people to make a public, private or secret group and collaborate them anytime you want. Apart from chat, you can share post, links, videos, events and docs. This is a step by step guide to create Facebook group and start collaboration with members.

How to Create Facebook Groups


Go to this page. Click on Create Group button.

A box will pop up. Enter the name of your friends you want to add in your group. Remember, you can add only your Facebook friends in the group you are creating. Type the names in the Members box (no need to type full name, after typing the initials, Facebook automatically displays your friend’s name).


After typing all the names, choose the privacy level. You can choose is to closed group therefore all the members will be public (anyone on Facebook can see them) and the content will be private. Click on Create button.

 
 Your Facebook group is created. Now enjoy talking with friends.
