Add a Location to your group so that members know where the group is meeting. You can create physical or virtual locations for your groups, and share them with other groups.
In the group Settings tab, go to the Location section, and choose one of these location types:
-
Physical address for a physical location.
-
Virtual (link) to add a URL for a video conference platform to stream your service or meeting.
After choosing Physical address as the location type, select Create a new location in the dropdown menu.
Add the name and address, and then make sure that the location on the map is correct.
If other groups or events might need this location, check the box next to Share.
Tip
To pin a more specific location instead of an address, click the map.
Members will always see the exact address and location, but to make the public-facing location less specific, set the Non-Member Display dropdown to Hidden, Approximate, or Exact location.
Click Save location to add the location to your group or event.
If you add a link to a video conference as your location, only logged in members of the group will be able to access the link.
After choosing Virtual (link) as your location type, paste the meeting link for your chosen video conference platform, and then click Save.
Tip
Some popular video conference providers are Zoom, Go-To-Meeting, and Google Hangouts.
To change your group's location, first choose a different location type, if necessary.
You can add a new link for a video conference or change to a different physical location.
Choose an existing location from the Location list.
Note
To update a shared location, select it from the Group Settings. Share locations cannot be edited from an event. When you update a shared location, it will be updated for any groups currently using the location.
-
Click to open the location settings, so that you can then update the name, address, or the Non-Member Display options of the current location.
-
Click to completely remove the location from Groups.
