# User groups
User groups allow you to [mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group) multiple
users at once, and add users in bulk to an existing stream or user group.
When you mention a user group, everyone in the group is
[notified](/help/dm-mention-alert-notifications) as if they were
individually mentioned.
{!user-groups-intro.md!}
Note that user groups are not the same as group direct messages. If you're
trying to send a message to a group of people, you'll want to either
[create a stream](/help/create-a-stream), or send a
[group direct message](/help/direct-messages).
You can also:
- Add a user group to another user group. This individually adds all the users
in the group.
- Subscribe a user group to a stream. This individually subscribes all the users
in the group.
- Compose a [direct message](/help/direct-messages) to a user group. This
automatically puts all the users in the group into the addressee field.
