1. Open (public)-- Everyone on Facebook can sign up with the team, see who remains in it and also what members are publishing.

3. Secret-- You can only join if you are added by a Facebook good friend. Just members can see the Group, that is in it as well as what is uploaded.

Name your group as well as include any type of associates or advocates you are buddies with. After that select the "Create Team" switch. You will certainly be included too so you can upload in the Group as yourself.

You can discover your Groups, connect any kind of existing Groups, as well as produce brand-new Groups under the "Group" tab from now on (or till Facebook changes every little thing once again).

When you have included or linked your Group to your Web page, you currently have the alternative of publishing as yourself or as your Page. To change in between the two, select the dropdown food selection prior to you upload your upgrade.
