This is great, thank you @StuffedBox! However, I cannot reply as a group. Could this be due to updates in Google since you posted this video?

[@StuffedBox]

Looks like Google did change something. They've added another permission to allow others to respond. Go to Groups > Select the group > Advanced Settings. Then look for 'Who can reply privately to authors'. Select 'Group members'. That should allow you and members to reply from Groups.

[@carina_balbo]

thank you@@StuffedBox ! it worked!! 😄😄

[@adegamisu]

@@StuffedBox Thanks again very much from my side for this video! great explanation and help. I followed your advice and still cant select to reply as part of the group. It seems that the group mail is added automatically to CC and i can only reply as an individual. I found the new setting you mentioned but is not working still. any potential help would be muchly appreciated

[@LivinginOviedo]

Thank you so much

[@peterpoggi]

Thank you for this! Maybe you can help with this? In Google Groups, our members that are external to our workspace domain show up with their email address in the Member Name column. Sometimes the email address is cryptic and does not reflect that person's name. Is there any way to add a data column where we can put the person's actual name into the group?

[@PaoloPlebani-jg7qe]

thankssssss

Liked. Do we end up having to pay for group email?

[@StuffedBox]

Group email is free. You pay for the users

[@TrinityOnline]

@@StuffedBox Thank you very much. Subscribed to your channel.

[@ShawnRitch]

Thanks for sharing. I suspected it would be a good amount of work to setup. Looked like you barely touched the surface to what it can do.
@StuffedBox Do you use Google Workspace for managing groups and emails?

[@StuffedBox]

I do manage a few Google Workspace accounts for groups and emails but I'm sure there are a lot of features that I should be taking advantage of to be more efficient.

[@StuffedBox]

Please put your comments and questions below or just say thanks!

[@electronhypothesis]

Thank you for the video! Do you know how to hide messages once I am done with them? Also, how come I can't move emails into labels in Google Groups?

[@StuffedBox]

@@electronhypothesis Click archive on your message and it'll put it in your archive folder. You'll be able to use search when finding it

[@OstanEngineering]

@stuffedBox, thank you for this video, it had the information we were seeking. You mentioned another video at 10:40min about "Google shared drive and how to use it as a server," can you share the link? We didn't find it in the description box.

[@StuffedBox]

still working on it

[@JoseVillanueva-v3f]

Can you explain: "Who can reply privately to authors"... Can you provide an example?

[@MichaelDizon-lu8ej]

Hi thank you for this.. btw Is it possible to upload a photo on a Group?

[@julianwitzel6234]

Can we also add profile images there? We just want to put our logo

[@user-asianpacificoakmont]

I've created a group but do members need to have a Google email address to log in? What happens when they log in as themselves - do they see your profile picture and be able to change settings. I'm more concerned security and settings on groupwise page.

[@alexdanyliuk3163]

Thank you please help the group member's incoming email show the sender name via group name how can I fix that

[@namansingh1799]

Hi, is there a way to restrict Super Admins from viewing conversations? By default, Super Admins can view conversations and emails in All Groups in an org.

[@StuffedBox]

Hi, the easiest way is to turn off Conversation history, this way they can't see any conversations. The long way is to create a separate Organizational unit for Super Admins.

[@FatimaNoor19739]

very helpful! I set up a google group but when I tried to reply to my demo group, it says it's locked. Could someone please help me know how to unlock? 😊😊

[@yellowmik3]

On google chat, how do we include group to be members of a specific chat space?

[@StuffedBox]

That feature was just released, it will be fully available on Nov 1st 2023

[@topvirtualacademy]

i can not reply from the group address , any idea why?

[@LaraineCraig]

[@FX-wc1nd]
