GoSocial (Facebook/Linkedin)

Creating groups live

Groups allow you to share posts and content amongst a specific group of people. It reproduces an online ecosystem based on private discussion groups managed by specific players or role-players. To create a new Facebook group live during the exercise follow the steps below.

1. Create new group

First ensure you have the "Create Facebook group" special permission assigned (see more on assigning special permissions here). Then, in the GoSocial side panel there will be a button stating '+create new group'

2. Customise the group

Customise your group details to create a more realistic group. Here, you can give your group a name, description and cover image.

3. View the group

The new group will appear on the left column, click on the name to access it

Further available actions for those assigned the "Create Facebook group" special permission:

Edit group

Edit the group name, description, and cover image.

Delete groups leading to all discussions becoming inaccessible.

Manage members

Group creators can:

• accept / reject members

• remove members

Groups: Player actions

Search group

Players can only find a group if they search for it in the GoSocial channel search bar

Join groups

Once players have searched for and found a group they can join by clicking 'join group'. Initially it will appear as a pending request until the group creator or moderator accepts the request.

If the group creator has made a player a moderator, moderators have the ability to accept or reject new members.
