About This Feature
Overview
Share Group Chat is a collaboration feature in WPS Office for Mac that helps you invite other people into an existing group chat. You can share the chat in two practical ways: copy a group join link or save a QR code image.
The main tasks include:
- Open the Share Group Chat panel from a group conversation.
- Copy the group link and send it to other participants.
- Save the QR code image and share it for scan-based joining.
This feature is useful for project discussions, temporary work groups, meeting follow-up chats, and cross-team coordination. You can choose the sharing method based on how recipients prefer to join.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In a group chat window, WPS provides a Share Group Chat panel with both a copyable group link and a savable QR code image. | Microsoft Teams Free supports group chat join links and can show a QR code for inviting others into a group chat. | Google Chat supports joining a space through a link, but the official help page does not describe a QR-code-based group chat invite flow. | Notion supports workspace invite links and page sharing, but it does not provide a native group chat invite QR flow. | Adobe Acrobat supports document collaboration and shareable PDF Space experiences, but not a native group chat invite link and QR join flow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines link sharing and QR image saving in one panel, which fits both message-based invites and scan-based joining. | Compared with WPS: Teams also supports links and QR codes, but the invite controls are described within broader chat settings. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat documentation focuses on joining spaces by link, so the invite method is narrower for this scenario. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on workspace and page collaboration rather than native group chat invitations. | Compared with WPS: Adobe collaboration is document-focused instead of instant group chat invitation. |

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to invite people into the same collaboration chat quickly, WPS offers a direct share flow with both link and QR options in one place. Other products often focus more on spaces, workspaces, or document sharing than on a dedicated group chat invite experience.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Need | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Add project members quickly | Project owners and team members | New participants need to enter the discussion fast | Copy the group link and send it directly |
| 2 | Join by scanning at an in-person meeting | Trainers and meeting hosts | Adding people one by one is inefficient | Save the QR code image and display or forward it |
| 3 | Temporary cross-team coordination | Operations, support, and admin teams | A short-term group needs more members quickly | Open the share panel and choose link or QR sharing |
| 4 | Remote collaboration notices | Distributed teams | Recipients use different devices and join habits | Send a link to desktop users and a QR image to mobile users |
| 5 | Secondary forwarding by existing members | Group admins and core members | Existing members need to help invite others | Forward the copied link or saved QR image again |
