LinkedIn offers the ability to create group conversations on the professional social network, functioning as an instant messaging tool. Just as you can create groups on WhatsApp or, more recently, group chats on TikTok , you can also hold conversations with a group of people on LinkedIn.
In this article, we explain everything you need to do to start and manage a group conversation on LinkedIn.
Steps to create a chat group on LinkedIn
On LinkedIn, group chats can have up to 50 members . You can start a group chat with two or more first-degree connections.
To create a group chat, either from your computer or mobile phone, you must do the following:
– Tap the Messages icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. Alternatively, tap the Compose icon, located at the top of your messaging conversation windows.
-Click the Compose icon at the top of the left panel.
-Write the names of the recipients or group in the “Write a name” field.
-In the “Write a message” box, you can type the text of the first message to be shared in the group. Click “Send” when you’re ready.
You should keep in mind that on LinkedIn, unlike other apps, all participants in a group chat share the same conversation history. This means that people who just joined a group chat will see the entire conversation history, so keep this in mind.
How to add or remove people in a LinkedIn chat
To add or remove participants in a LinkedIn chat, all you have to do is the following:
-Go to the group chat you want to add participants to.
-Click on the three-dot icon, located in the upper right corner of the group chat.
– Tap “Add/Remove People.” In the conversation details section, enter the name of the member you want to add or remove and select them when they appear in the drop-down menu.
How to leave a group chat on LinkedIn
If you no longer want to be part of a LinkedIn group chat, do the following:
-Enter the group chat you want to leave.
-Click the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the chat window.
-Click on “Leave conversation”
