# Create a Custom Subchat


# Group Subchats
A subchat is a type of group chat that is available to all group members, but all group members are not automatically added. This can be helpful if you want to create chats about specific topics that may appeal to only a portion of your group members. 

| This feature is available to those with a [Premium or Platinum subscription](https://socialglow.com/pricing).

### How to Create a Subchat
*These instructions cover the view from the SocialGlow website, but this can be done from the Chat tab on the SocialGlow mobile app as well. *

1. Login to your SocialGlow account.
* You'll want to be on the SocialGlow Group side of things, not your dashboard.
* If you're on your SocialGlow dashboard, click the **Go to SocialGlow** button in the top right corner.
