A safer way to share with the people who matter.
With Groups (Beta) on Gan Jing World, your family, class or club gets its own private space. Only members see who’s in and what they post, you approve everyone who joins, and no one’s phone number is shared. This guide shows you how to set one up safely in five simple steps.
Ideas: how people use Groups
- Family: a hidden photo album for birthdays and holidays, with polls to plan reunions.
- School: class news and volunteer sign-ups for parents and teachers, no phone numbers swapped.
- Hobby club: a visible group new fans can find, with event posts and outing polls.
- Neighborhood: local events and lost-and-found, open only to neighbors you approve.
- Team: game highlights, game-day reminders and carpool sign-ups.
Why Groups on Gan Jing World
Groups are built for the people you actually know.
- Only members see inside. In a private group, only members can see who's in it and what they post. Hidden groups don't show up for outsiders at all.
- No phone numbers shared. You invite people by channel name, email, link or QR code, so members never see each other's phone numbers.
- You approve who joins. Invite links send a request first. You approve or decline each person, and members can report posts or leave anytime.
- A family-safe home. Groups live inside Gan Jing World, a family-safe, non-addictive video platform.
Step 1: Open My Groups
Sign in at ganjingworld.com, click your profile picture at the top right, and choose My Groups (Beta).
You land on Latest Activities, a feed of new posts from your groups. The left menu shows the groups you manage and the groups you've joined, so you can jump into any of them in one click.
Step 2: Create a private group
Click Create a group in the left menu. Add a name, a group picture and an optional description.
Your group can be Private, so only members can see who's in the group and what they post.
Then pick a Visibility setting. It controls who can find your group, not who can see inside it:
| Visibility | Who can find the group | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Visible | Anyone can find it | Fan clubs, hobby and local groups that welcome join requests |
| Hidden | Only members can find it | Family albums, close friends, private teams |
Click Create. You can change the name, picture, description and visibility later from the About tab.
Step 3: Invite people you know
Open your group and click Invite. Choose the way that fits who you're inviting:
| Invite method | How it works | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Invite by channel name | Search a Gan Jing World channel and send the invite | You know their channel. The most direct option |
| Invite with email | Sends an invite to an email address, even for people new to Gan Jing World | Family and friends who aren't on Gan Jing World yet |
| Invite via QR code | Scanning it takes people to your group | In-person events, classes, meetups |
| Invite with link | People who open the link can ask to join | Sending to one person or a small chat you trust |
An invite link doesn't let anyone straight in: people who open it send a request to join, and you decide (Step 4). Even so, share links and QR codes only with people and places you trust, not on public posts.
Step 4: Decide who gets in
As the group admin, you control the member list from the Members tab:
- Member requests: click Approve for people you know, Decline for anyone you don't.
- Pending invite: see invitations that haven't been accepted yet.
- Group members: click Remove member if someone shouldn't be in the group anymore.
A quick check before you approve: does the channel name or picture match someone you actually invited? If you're not sure, decline. They can always ask again.
Step 5: Share and stay in control
On the group's Home tab, click What's on your mind? to post. You can add a video, photos, stickers, emoji or a poll. Shared photos also collect in the group's Photos tab.
Changed your mind? Click the ⋮ menu on your own post to Edit post or Delete post at any time.
A private group keeps posts among members, but members can still save or pass things on. Before you post, leave out:
- Home addresses, phone numbers and travel dates
- Passwords, ID or account numbers
- Children's full names, schools or locations in photos
- Anything you wouldn't want shared beyond the group
Stay in control. You don't need to be an admin to protect yourself:
- Report a post: click ⋮ on any post that seems inappropriate or unsafe, then Report post.
- Leave a group: click Joined at the top of the group, then Leave group. You can leave any group, any time.
- Check the About panel: every group shows its privacy and visibility settings and when it was created, so you know what kind of space you're in before you post.
