Adding members to a group

After you’ve created a group, you can start adding members. The members of your group will be able to view and share VoiceThreads in that group space.

To add members to your group:

  1. Expand the sidebar on the left side of your home page, and click on the groups tab.
  2. Click on the group to which you would like to add members.
  3. Click “+ Add members” near the top of the page, and select the method you’d like to use to add your members. group_add_members_button.png

There are four ways to add someone to your group:

  1. Select “Add members via sign-up link” from the “Add members” menu. group_sign_up_link.png
  2. Click on the “Copy link” button to copy the link to your clipboard. group_link.png

As soon as others click on this link and confirm they want to join, they will be added to your group.

Your contacts list

  1. Select “Add members from contacts” from the “Add members” menu. group_add_from_contacts.png
  2. Check the box next to any contacts you want to add to your group, and click “Add to group” at the bottom of the page. select_contacts_to_add.png

After you add them, they will be listed as pending members.

They will receive an invitation email invitation and see a pop-up invitation the next time they sign in to their VoiceThread account.
