Facebook Group Badges - Blog Course Creator Community

Facebook Group Badges

Facebook Group Badges are a new-ish visual feature designed to help group members learn about other group members and their engagement level within the group. 

There are a range of different Facebook Badge options (which we’ll cover later) and if a group member has earned a specific ‘badge’, it will appear next to a member’s name on group posts, comments, and on member profiles.

Different Facebook Groups will have different badges based on

  1. The type of Group
  2. What the Admin selects

If you’re an Admin of a Facebook Group, you can see what badges are available in your Group by doing the following

Step 1: Go to your Group Settings
