00:00As humanity inches towards singularity with the machines,
00:04ugh, too heavy.
00:05Look, so much of our lives exist online nowadays,
00:08and group chats are a big part of that life.
00:11Whether it's a family chat on WhatsApp
00:14or a work group on programs like Slack or Monday,
00:17it's important to use proper group chat etiquette.
00:21According to Fortunately,
00:22WhatsApp statistics show that there are more than 1 billion groups in existence.
00:28I promise you, there would be less
00:30if people weren't constantly breaking off to start new ones
00:34with one less annoying member
00:35who won't stop spamming pictures from their flute carving club.
00:40Fortunately, a recent HuffPost article listed
00:43the most important social rules for group chatting,
00:46and we're here for it.
00:47Most of it falls under the category of
00:49do as you would in regular conversation,
00:52like be kind to each other
00:54and don't show others questionable or dangerous content.
00:57But others are definitely worth the mention,
01:00like don't ask what you've missed,
01:02scroll up and read,
01:04don't add new people to the chat without asking,
01:07don't have one-on-one conversations
01:09that can otherwise be taken into private DMs,
01:12and most importantly, in my opinion,
01:14what happens in the group chat stays in the group chat.
01:18Groups were created to keep the conversation between those invited.
01:22If you're going to share images or even replies from within the group,
01:26the right thing to do is to ask first.
01:29So keep these notions in mind next time you start a new group chat,
01:32and remember, we're all in this together.
01:35Let's make sure we do it right.
01:36Let's make sure we do it right.
01:37Let's make sure we do it right.
01:37Let's make sure we do it right.
01:37Let's make sure we do it right.
01:37Let's make sure we do it right.
