# Schedule Posts and Templates to your Group


## How do I schedule posts or templates to my group?
You're able to schedule posts to your group. You can both create and schedule individual posts, or you can schedule one of the templates you have saved to your account. 

* From your SocialGlow dashboard, select **Groups** from the menu, then click on the name of the group you want to schedule posts to.
* At the top of the page are two buttons: **Add New Post** and **Schedule New Template**.

There are 2 different post type options given here: **Add Media** and **Video Link/Live Stream.**

1. **Add Media** *(This is the default option)*
Select this option if you want to create a post that includes any type of media such as:
* Pictures
* Videos
* GIFs

| Use the Upload Media section to upload your video, picture, or GIF files to the post. You can add multiple to a single post.

You can add any text, website links and/or video links directly in the Message box. The system will generate a preview of a link once posted.

2. **Video Link/Live Stream**
Select this option if you are scheduling a post notifying your group members when you are streaming live. 

For the Video Link/Live Stream section, you would enter the link of the location you'll be streaming at (such as a YouTube live event link, or Zoom meeting link).

* Click **Create Post**

That post will now be listed as pending in that group, and will publish at the time you had scheduled it for.
