Create a Space or a room

Start a Space for your group, or add a walkie or chat room to one. The starting choices follow your plan.

A new Space starts with #Walkie to talk and #General to chat, and you are its owner. Owners and admins can add more rooms.

Create a Space

Phone

  1. Not in a group yet? The People tab says You’re not in a group yet with a Create a group button. Tap it, or join one with a link someone sent you.
  2. Open Your rooms, tap the Space name › Manage Spaces › New Space.
  3. Type a name, an optional description, and set Adults only (18+) if you want it.

Family or team Spaces

KeyUp no longer asks whether a Space is for family or a team, when you sign up or make a Space. The starting choices follow the owner’s plan instead, and you can change any of them later.

  1. Call for help: on Free, Plus and Plus 10 it goes to everyone in the Space; on Crew and Business it goes to the owner, admins and moderators. That is only the starting value: change Who gets it in Space settings › Call for help, and what you save stays, even when the plan changes. See When someone calls for help.
  2. On Crew and Business, the owner sees a card once on the phone, Set My schedule?, with the line “Teams usually set Mon to Fri, 9 to 5. You can change it any time in Hours.” Set Mon to Fri 9 to 5 puts that schedule into your Hours. Not now closes the card, and it does not come back for that Space on that phone. It never shows if you already have a schedule. KeyUp sets no hours on its own, and no hours are set for anyone else.
  3. An older app may still show What’s KeyUp for? or Kind of Space. The answer is kept but changes nothing.
