How to Start a Discussion in a LinkedIn Group

This Tutorial addresses:
  • LinkedIn
If you are a member or owner of a LinkedIn group, you can start a new discussion. When you start a group discussion, all the group members who have configured their group settings to receive notification emails are automatically notified about the new discussion via an email.

When a new group discussion is started, any group member can respond and reply to it. In case a person is not interested in participating in the discussion but still wants to remain updated about its activities, he/she can follow the discussion.

Here’s how you can start a group discussion in LinkedIn:

  1. Using any web browser of your choice on your computer, sign-in to your LinkedIn account.
  2. On your account’s Home page, click Profile from the menu bar at the top.

  3. On your profile page, click the pencil icon representing the Groups section at the bottom.
  4. From the displayed groups, click the one in which you want to start a discussion. (OHGOI for this demonstration.)

  5. Once the group page opens up, ensure that you are on the Discussions interface.
  6. In the Start a discussion or share something with the group field, type the discussion text.
  7. Click to select an appropriate Discussion type radio button (General, Job, or Promotion) as needed.
  8. Finally click the Share button to start the discussion.
