Welcome to GroupOS!

Your all-in-one platform for running, managing, and growing your online community. We’re excited to have you here!

This Help Center is your go-to spot for everything you need to get started with building and growing your community.

You’ll find step-by-step guides to help you set up access, customize your space, and create a place your members will love.

1. Set Up Your Platform Basics

Before inviting members or publishing content, start by connecting your core setup

  • Customize Your Platform

    Your community should feel like your own. With customization tools, you can brand your platform with your logo, brand colors, and unique domain.

    This creates a seamless experience for your members and reinforces trust.

  • Choose a GroupOS Plan + Connect Stripe

    To get started, you need to activate your GroupOS account and set up payments.

    Stripe integration allows you to charge for memberships, events, and content access.

2. Create Membership Plan & Invite Your First Members

Not all members are the same. Some may need premium content, others may attend events, and some just want community access.

Plans let you control what people see and pay for.

Once Stripe and plans are in place, you’re ready to build your member base.

3. Newsfeed & Announcements

Keep your community informed. The Newsfeed is where updates, highlights, and shared content live.

4. Create & Host Events

Hosting live events, workshops, or meetups? GroupOS lets you plan, promote, and run them from start to finish.

Create an in-person or virtual event, sell tickets, invite attendees, build a schedule with sessions and speakers, upload photos, and more. All from one place.

5. Share & Monetize Videos


Run courses, event recaps, or interviews — all in one place. From recorded talks to tutorials, you can organize and monetize your library.

6. Upload and Organize Documents

Use GroupOS as your document hub. Don’t just share your documents. Turn them into something bigger.

Organize, monetize, and share with ease, all while keeping full control of your content.

7. Chats & Channels

Give your members a place to talk, share, and connect. Channels can be public or private, and organized by topic.

8. Partners, Reviews, and More

Highlight partners, collect reviews, and build social proof. Great for monetization and community trust.

9. Admin & Moderation Tools

Every great community needs strong admin controls. Manage teammates, control access, set permissions, and moderate content.

10. Mobile & Web App Access

Members should be able to access your community anywhere. GroupOS works on iOS, Android, and the Web.
