00:00ChatGPT rolls out group chats.
00:03OpenAI is rolling out group chats globally to free, go, plus, and pro users, a week after
00:09quiet tests in Japan and New Zealand.
00:12Think of ChatGPT shifting from a homework buddy to a group Slack channel that never
00:16sleeps or eats lunch.
00:18You can invite up to 20 people into a shared conversation with ChatGPT.
00:22Friends, family, coworkers, your Dungeons and Dragons party, even that one guy who derails
00:28the plan, everyone gets a seat at the digital table.
00:31Use it to plan trips, co-write docs, argue about where to eat, or go full chaos mode while
00:36ChatGPT mediates like a calm HR rep with infinite patience.
00:41OpenAI is pitching this as a big shift from ChatGPT helps you to ChatGPT helps everyone
00:48in your messy group chat.
00:50It'll jump in when it's needed and stay quiet when it's not, like that one friend
00:53who only talks when there's actual drama.
00:56If you want it's attention though, you can just tag it like at ChatGPT and boom, it's
01:01back in the game.
01:02Yes, it can also react with emojis.
01:05No, it probably won't side with you in the argument.
01:09Setting up a group chat is straightforward.
01:11Tap the people icon, add participants directly or via a link, and everyone makes a short profile
01:16with a name, username, and photo.
01:19Your personal settings and memory stay private, so ChatGPT isn't snitching about your weird
01:23late night prompts from last week.
01:25Also adding someone to an existing chat doesn't mess up the old one.
01:29It just spins up a new conversation, like a respectful clone of your original chaos.
01:34OpenAI says this is all part of a bigger plan to make ChatGPT less of a solo sidekick and
01:40more of a collaborative hangout space.
01:42It wants to be your group's shared brain.
01:44The one that remembers who said what, and can summarize your 400 message argument in three
01:49bullet points.
01:50This news drops less than two weeks after the company launched GPT 5.1 and a few months after
01:56releasing Sora, its TikTok-esque social video app where you can generate AI videos of yourself
02:02and your friends.
