Group Chats

Get connected with an entire team of people using the group chat feature in Beekeeper. Through group chats, you can have dynamic, ongoing conversation with coworkers who are either in your same department or working on the same project.

Once you have created a group chat you can add or remove members from the chat, as people join or leave teams or projects. You will automatically become a chat admin for group chats you create, but you can also make other participants chat admins to help manage the members. They can then add and remove chat participants, as well as assign another participant as a chat admin. Chat admins also have the ability to update the chat image and title.
