Create a Group Chat

Last updated: 3 years ago
You can start a group chat with two or more of your 1st-degree connections.

To start a group chat:

  1. Click the Messaging icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. 

    • Or click the Compose icon at the top of the messaging conversation windows. 

  2. Click the Compose icon on the top of the left pane. 

  3. Type the names of your recipients or group in the Type a name field. 

  4. You can add up to 50 people to the conversation. Draft your message in the Write a message box. 

  5. Click ➤ Send to send the message. 

This creates the group chat where added members can converse with each other.
Notes:
  • In order to help members join group chat seamlessly, and share them with others so that they have full context of a conversation, all participants in a group chat will share the same conversation history. All current and new participants in a group chat will see all past conversation history in the chat.
  • You can have up to 50 members in a group chat.

  • Everyone in a group chat is an admin and anyone in the chat can hence remove and add members to the chat as well as edit the conversation name.

  • This feature should not be used to mass message and should be used to create conversations with relevant communities with whom you know. Report or leave the chat that you find irrelevant to you.
