#9. How do I create a private group chat with my teammates?
Team Leaders
Players
Audience: Players, leaders.
Short answer: On the chat page, click New Group, give it a
name, pick the teammates you want, and submit. You're the owner — use
the gear icon at the top of the room to add or remove members later.
Step-by-step (web)
- Open Chat from your team dashboard.
- Click the gold New Group button at the top of the page (icon:
group of people). - In the modal:
- Enter a Group Name (e.g. Saturday Squad).
- Browse teammates grouped by role. Use the search box to
narrow down. Tick the people you want to invite.
- You can also create the group with no one and invite people
later. - Click Create Group.
- You're dropped into the new room.
Step-by-step (mobile)
- Open the Chat tab.
- Tap + NEW PRIVATE GROUP at the top.
- Same as web — name the group, pick teammates, create.
Managing the group (owners)
Open the room and tap the gear icon at the top:
- Add teammates to the group at any time.
- Remove someone if they leave the squad.
- Archive the group when you're done with it (the room
disappears from active list; it can be unarchived).
Leaving a group (non-owners)
- Web: leave button at the top of the room.
- Mobile: tap the leave icon at the top. One tap and you're out.
Other members see a "[name] left the chat" notice.
Notes / gotchas
- 10-group cap per team per person. You can own up to 10 active
group chats on a given team. The New Private Group modal shows
your current count vs the cap. Archive old groups to free a slot. - Team owners can see — but not read — your group. On the chat
management page, team owners see a Member Group badge for
groups players created (with the creator's name), but cannot read
the conversation. They can archive a group if needed (e.g. if
someone reports it). - Pinned messages, scroll-back history, image thumbnails all
work the same as in regular chats — see FAQ-to-be-written about
pinning if you need a refresher.
