There is a GroupMe app for Windows, but not yet for macOS. If you’re using a Mac, you can still use GroupMe on the web to chat. See the Setting Up GroupMe on the Web method instead. Windows users who don’t want to download an app can also skip to the Creating an Account method to learn how to sign into GroupMe on the web.

You can launch the app at any time by clicking GroupMe in the Start menu.

You’ll be prompted to sync your contacts during the sign-in process. Follow the on-screen instructions to do so.

If you select Facebook or Microsoft, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the sign-up process. When prompted to sync your contacts, follow the on-screen instructions to do so. If you opted to sign in with an email address, enter your email address, name, and a new password. Check the box next to “I agree to the Terms,” and leave “Sync contacts to find friends” checked to ensure your contacts are transferred over.

The web version of GroupMe doesn’t offer all of the same features as the desktop and mobile apps. You may still have to use your phone or tablet to do things like sync your contacts.

If you want to sign up with your Microsoft or Facebook account, click Continue with Microsoft or Continue with Facebook, and then follow the on-screen instructions to log into that account. Be sure to allow the app to sync your contacts when prompted. To sign up with your email address, type your email address and click Continue. You’ll have to fill out of a form with your name, phone number, and a new password. Click Continue to receive a verification code, and then enter it on the next screen to sign in.

This method will help you sync your Windows/Microsoft contacts to GroupMe.

This option may appear as Find friends from contacts in some versions.

Your contacts are now synced with your GroupMe account on all platforms, including the web browser, the apps for your mobile devices, and the app for your computer.

You can click the Set Avatar image above to select an image for the group. If you’d like to add a group topic, type it into the “Add a topic” or “Enter group topic” field. To make the group private (so nobody else can add other members), slide the “Closed Group” switch to {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/2/28/Android7switchon. png”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/2/28/Android7switchon. png/35px-Android7switchon. png",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:394,“bigWidth”:35,“bigHeight”:30,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

You can find your groups in the Chats screen, which you can reach by clicking the message bubble icon near the top-left corner of GroupMe. Clicking the group name at the top of the conversation will open that group’s detailed information, such as members, shared media, the calendar, polls, popular messages, and settings. To add more people to the group, click the group’s name at the top, select Members, and then click Add Members.

See the “Sending a Direct Message” or “Starting a Group” method to learn how to start a new conversation.

In the PC app, you can click the photo icon to attach a photo, the document icon to attach a file, the calendar to add an event, or the sheet of paper with a magnifying glass to add GIFs and videos from the web. In the web version, click Share Photos and Documents to share media from your computer. You can also create a poll, add an event, or select Media Search to search for online GIFs and videos.
