Chatter Groups

Overview

Chatter Groups allow you to collaborate with specific people. For example, if you're working on a team project, you can create a group for your team to share project-related files and information. Group feeds in Lightning Experience are live feeds that update in real time. They don’t require a page refresh to update.
