Q&A for How to Create a Google Group

To do anything on Google's social networks, you need a Google account. Google accounts automatically provide access to Gmail, though you're not obligated to use it. When signing up for a Google account, you can enter an email address from another provider.

Probably not. Google does have some spam prevention functions that limit the number of people you can send things to without a group or mailing list. It depends on what you mean by "mass."

Yes. You can view contents on Google Group without an account, but in order to use it, you need to have a Google account.

You can add an email domain to a Google Group so everyone in that domain receives messages sent to the group. Open the group settings, find the permissions or membership section, and add the domain, such as @abcfolks.org. Save the changes and emails will be sent to all addresses in that domain. This may require admin permissions, and the domain may need to be linked to your Google Workspace.

Be sure you're signed into the correct Google account. Check to see if your account has permissions to create groups, as some Google Workspace admins may restrict this feature. Visit Google Groups directly, and the "Create Group" option should appear on the main page or under "My Groups." If it’s not visible, try using a different browser or device to resolve the issue.

Try signing in to the correct Google account, updating your browser, and clearing its cache and cookies. Check that your browser settings and extensions match those on your old laptop. If the issue persists, try a different browser or incognito mode.
