These updates include enhanced admin resources and support, subscription and mentorship programs, and social learning tools. Facebook also added new member profiles and badges and rolled out Watch Party to all groups to make it easier for members to connect, discover things in common, and share experiences with one another.

    Facebook Adds Option to Pixel Group: Facebook expanded Group Insights and will now allow brands and admins to link their existing Facebook ad pixel to their Facebook groups. This update allows marketers to track user growth, activity, and engagement with their websites and can help justify leveraging Groups as an advertising avenue. Digiday notes that Facebook is limiting access to the pixel to groups with 250 or more members. (8:30)
