      Group Overview

      The Chat SDK on the new version comes with upgraded group types, including work groups (Work), public groups (Public), meeting groups (Meeting), communities, and audio-video groups (AVChatRoom).
      The groups on the earlier SDK version and the new SDK version are as compared below:

      A work group allows users to join after being invited by a friend who is a member of the group, without acceptance by the user or approval by the group owner required.

      Meeting
      (Temporary meeting group)
      A meeting group allows users to join and leave freely and view message history from before they joined the group. This group type is suitable for scenarios where Tencent Real-Time Communication (TRTC) is used, for example, audio and video conferences and online education.

      Community
      (Community Group)
      A community allows users to join and leave freely. It is a new powerful tool for entertainment collaboration and is suitable for chat scenarios with a super large number of community members, such as finding like-minded people, gaming social networking, fan marketing, and organization management.
      Within the same community, a high number of members can be divided into different groups and topics to separate messages for hierarchical communication, yet they can also share the same set of friend relationships.
      Note:
      1. The Community feature is only supported by the Enhanced version SDK 5.8.1668 or later, and Web SDK 2.17.0 or later.
      2. The Community feature requires to purchase the Premium Edition, and to use it, the switch must be activated in the Console. Switch path: Applications > Your App > Chat > Configuration > Group Configuration > Group feature configuration > Community.
      3. For Friends Work Group (Work) and Stranger Social Group (Public), the pre-group message history is not pulled by default. To enable this feature, the switch must be activated in the Console.
