Create a Group π²
A group in Keet is a space for secure communication where you can chat, make calls, and share files.
You can create and join as many groups as you want. They can be completely private, for a small company, family or friends, or they can grow into a large and vibrant community with thousands of members. π«
Keet uses peer-to-peer (P2P) messaging, which means your data travels directly between users. No servers, no middlemen.

How to create a broadcast feed and invite subscribers?
You can create a read-only group chat (channel) where only you and selected moderators can post, and then invite as many members as you like.
