Groups are the heart of We Are Voice. A group is a shared space for a choir, ensemble, band, or any music community where members can communicate, share playlists, and stay organised.
What is a group?
A group brings together a set of members under one shared space. Inside a group you will find:
- Feed – a shared message board where members and administrators can post updates, announcements, and interact through likes and replies.
- Playlists – shared music playlists that administrators can create and curate for all members.
- Members – a directory of everyone in the group, with role-based access control.
- About – the group profile including name, description, contact email, and location.
- Subscription (administrators only) – manage the group's subscription plan and features.
- Settings (administrators only) – advanced controls such as feed permissions and group visibility.
Roles
Every group member has one of the following roles:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Administrator | Full control over the group — can manage members, approve join requests, edit group details, create playlists, configure settings, and delete the group. |
| Choirmaster | A specialised role for conductors or music leaders with elevated access to the group's music content. |
| Member | Can view the feed, playlists, and member list, and post to the feed if enabled by administrators. |
> Note: A group must always have at least one Administrator. The last Administrator cannot leave or be removed — another member must be promoted first.
Finding your groups
> On web: Click My library in the top navigation, then click the Groups tab.
> On mobile: Tap Groups in the bottom navigation bar to open the group you used most recently.
To see all groups you belong to, open the group switcher by tapping the active group name at the top of the Groups screen, or by swiping from the left edge of the screen towards the right. The drawer lists every group you belong to and lets you make another group active.
Switching between groups
If you belong to more than one group, you can switch at any time.
> On web: Click My library, then the Groups tab, and click any group name.
> On mobile: Open the group switcher drawer by tapping the group name at the top of the Groups screen, or by swiping from the left edge of the screen towards the right while you are on Groups. The drawer is titled Your groups and lists every group you belong to, with your role below each group name. Tap a group to make it active — the app opens that group's Feed.
On mobile, the group switcher drawer also contains Join a group and Create new group. To close it without switching, tap outside it or swipe it back towards the left edge.
> Note: Groups with a Pending label are still awaiting approval. Tapping one opens its join status instead of switching to it.
Creating a group
Any registered user can create a group. See Create a group for step-by-step instructions.
Joining a group
To join a group you need an invitation link, invitation code, or QR code from an administrator. See Join a group for instructions.
Pending membership
After submitting a join request, your membership enters a Pending state until an administrator approves it. You will be notified once approved.
Leaving a group
> On web: Go to the Members tab and use the leave option.
> On mobile: Go to the About tab, scroll to the Danger zone section, and tap Leave Group.
If you are the only Administrator, you must promote another member before you can leave.
