How to Moderate a ChatGPT Group Chat
Running a ChatGPT group chat means managing people, AI behavior, and conversation quality. This guide covers everything from removing members and resetting invite links to configuring ChatGPT personalities, custom instructions, and participation modes.
Creating a ChatGPT group chat is the easy part. Keeping it productive, focused, and enjoyable for every member is where moderation matters. Whether you are running a study group, a startup brainstorming room, or a creative community, you need to understand the tools ChatGPT gives you to manage participants, control how the AI behaves, and maintain the quality of conversation.
ChatGPT group chats support up to 20 people, and every member can see the full conversation history. That means moderation decisions — who stays, who goes, what ChatGPT does, and how the room is configured — have a direct impact on the experience for everyone.
This guide covers every moderation tool available: removing members, managing invite links, renaming your group, setting custom instructions, choosing ChatGPT participation modes, leveraging personality presets, understanding what features are and are not available in group chats, and applying safety best practices to keep your community running smoothly.
Why Group Chat Moderation Matters
In a private one-on-one ChatGPT session, you control the entire experience. In a group chat, up to 20 people share the same conversation thread with AI. That dynamic changes everything. Off-topic messages, disruptive participants, or poorly configured AI behavior can derail the experience for the entire room.
