hello it's rado and welcome back to elite dangerous
a lot of people ask me while i stream on the weekends how can i join your private group
are you playing in open i don't want to play an open i want to play in a private group
how do i create one and then how do i add my friends into a private group so this video is all
about that creating a private group inviting your team members to a team playing collaboratively
and a little bit of private group management elite is fun with friends i'm sure you'll agree
even before elite dangerous odyssey hit us about 12 months ago we played consistently uh either
in open or in private groups in the standard elite dangerous slash elite dangerous horizons
now odyssey is hit especially for pc players and those people thinking of transferring from console
to pc i thought i'd put a quick video about how to join a private group how to create a private group
there are plenty of areas in odyssey where you can join and play collaboratively
base missions missions in space combat missions trade missions where one guy is doing the trade
and you're doing the protection there are many many applications
for having fun in a team so it's well worth doing if yeah if you're into it so let's get on
okay so here i am with my alternative account commander commander ricardo
i wish i could change that anyway not to worry what am i going to do into social uh and there's
my friends list haven't got many friends on this particular account i don't use it very
often is for exploring colonia into groups great and you can see the option there create a private
group so you want to host a game you want to create a private group for you and your buddies
and other commanders to play in i always select automatically approve requests set that to off
and off have it set to friends only you don't want every commander tom dick and harriet joining
your game and potentially ganking you right that could really spoil your day confirm group creates
the private group it's as simple as that then it comes down to the fact of well what you're going
to do with that group if you look at other groups i'm a member of for example i've got simon's here
he's got a load of people already added in and he plays with this particular group great um
what we gonna do so you've got a couple of options to add people in people can either search for the
group to join um once they've added you in as a friend or you can indeed search that particular
individual so i'll type in the name of my alternative account once i can spell it correctly
hit search and you can see i was active an hour ago hit that you can see i can invite
it to the private group that's inviting that commander to the private group
brilliant once i've done that great i'll have to go and select that group and once
i've selected that group i can then say yes i approve to be added to that group
now you as an administrator you can disband the group and you can recreate the group if
you wanted to so let's go back and let's show that stage again we're going to create a private group
bam make sure automatically approve is off friends only and there's my group commander ricardo
no members in it at all whatsoever so like i say what i've got to do now is i can go to my friends
list i'm going to select my alternative account and invite them to my private group great done
they're going to get an invite to join my private group which they're going to have to accept
right then this is the account that i have just added into my private group
my main account so what do you do into social you'll see an exclamation mark next to groups
select groups you'll see an exclamation mark next to pending invites and a tick or a cross
whether you want to accept or not if you accept join the group click on the cross you will not
you can also leave the group as any time if that particular group is not for you nice and simple
exactly what it says on the tin now so now the person's in our group this is the commander who
created the group you can see the commander is now joined the group and where they are in the elite
dangerous galaxy great now what we're going to do is is we're going to invite them into the team now
you can see them there at the bottom right invite to team from the comms menu and a team request has
been sent so on the other commander now they will get the option to either say yes i want to join
you and play cooperatively elsewhere would you be in the team and you can see a little one next to
the invite click on the tick and that commander name will appear at the top of the screen there
you go you can now share missions play together you're in the correct vicinity or generally talk
over in-game comms as well so that's how to create a private group join a private group and
add somebody to a team in elite dangerous slash elite dangerous odyssey good for new commanders
always good for a little bit of refresher as well i hope i've explained it eloquently enough um we
use it a lot on the weekends on the streams and we have loads of fun and elite dangerous is great fun
with other commanders as well i've been ricardo thanks very much for watching hit that like and
subscribe button if you haven't done so and i'll see you soon if not on the streams on the weekends
