How to write on behalf of the community in VK in other groups
The ability to write messages and posts on behalf of groups appeared relatively recently - on July 4, 2021.
Two categories of users immediately began to actively use this function.
The first are administrators of communities for promotion. The scheme is simple - join an active discussion in another group and leave an interesting comment on behalf of your group. Interested users will go to the group’s page to look and if the content captivates them, they can subscribe.
The second are users who want to comment in other communities and not make their account public. The group is created quite quickly, administrators and contact persons can be completely hidden, and you get a certain anonymity.
How to write comments
It's easy to write a comment on behalf of the group. To do this, in the comment writing window, click on your avatar and select the group on behalf of which you want to write.

Is it possible to post on another group's wall?
It is impossible to make a post on the wall of another group on behalf of your community at the time of writing. Well, it’s understandable, who is interested in a group of competitors leaving entries. Still, it’s more interesting for communities when real users communicate, rather than administrators on behalf of their groups.
Is it possible to leave a post in another group?
VKontakte does not allow you to leave posts on behalf of the community in other people's groups.
This is a completely correct decision, otherwise the pages would be full of spam left by enterprising individuals who decided to promote themselves at the expense of more popular competitors. the ability to leave comments not from your personal VK profile is not available everywhere This is due to the settings, rating and popularity of the public page owned by the person wishing to comment on the post.
How to write personal messages on behalf of a group in contact
There are certain restrictions here.
- On behalf of a group, you can only write to a subscriber of this group;
- You cannot start the dialogue first. Those. the subscriber must be the first to write to you in group messages, then you can respond on behalf of the community.

. all you can do is respond to incoming messages.
By default, group messages are disabled. To enable them, you need to go to the Management section - Sections - Messages and select Enabled.
Also check the Add to left menu checkbox so that the Messages section appears under the community avatar.

How to send from PC
It's really worth sending texts that are formatted this way because it attracts potential subscribers. It also allows you to avoid unnecessary feedback that distracts you from your work. So here's how to do it:
To your public association
It’s enough just to write on behalf of the VKontakte group. This can be done by first setting up publication in this way. When posting, you should click the gear that will be under the input window and uncheck the “Signature” checkbox. Now all entries will be made on behalf of the community.
To another public association
Let's look at how to write on behalf of the community on VK in other groups. This can be done by commenting on posts or any content. We'll tell you more about how to comment below.
Naturally, in VK it is impossible to write a message on behalf of a group in another group in any other way. Publishing your entry or posting anything other than a comment is out of the question.
In personal correspondence
Those thinking about how to write messages to people on behalf of the VRontakte group should make a small adjustment. To do this, you need to go to your public page. Then find the “Management” item on the right, go to the “Messages” section and turn on “Community Messages”.
After this, the “Write” button will appear on the main page. And by clicking on it, participants will be able to send their questions, suggestions, etc. to the association, and management can respond from the public. But they will not be able to write to a person on behalf of the group in contact.
By the way, this type of message will be very useful if you decide to make a greeting in the group for your subscribers.
In the comments
Another innovation is the ability to write messages on behalf of the VKontakte community in the comments. To do this, just type the text and, before publishing, choose who is posting it from. To the left of the comment itself there will be an arrow on the avatar thumbnail, by clicking on which you can see the list. Select the desired name (if you are the head of one association, then there will be one name) and send a comment.
Important point! You can comment on behalf of the administration only in your community.
How to write in discussions
To create a new topic in discussions on behalf of the community, you need to check the “On behalf of the community” checkbox. Otherwise, the entry will be published on behalf of the user under which you are logged in to VKontakte.

The settings look a little different if you need to reply to an already existing discussion. Similar to writing comments. In essence, these are comments.
By default, the answer in the discussion will be asked to write on behalf of the user; to switch to a group, you need to click on the user’s avatar and select the desired community in the drop-down list.
How to reply to a discussion as a community
How to publish a post in your group
The easiest way is to write messages on behalf of the VKontakte group, if you are part of this community. In this case, the principle of performing the work depends on the device from which the message is generated.
To write to VK from a computer, take the following steps:
- Click on the field intended for adding an entry.
- Write a post.
- Select on whose behalf the posting is made (this option is available for administrators or moderators). To select an option, just click on the arrow below.
In the absence of such an arrow, the community is closed, and only moderators or administrators of the VK public can write on its behalf.
How to write on behalf of a closed group
Inside the community: on your own wall, in comments, discussions and personal messages, everything is exactly the same as in an open group. Those. You can write, you can chat. The capabilities and limitations are exactly the same as for open groups.
Regarding the closed one, I will definitely conduct an experiment, while there are 9 people in my group. It was just conceived for various experiments, so that later it could be described on this site. As soon as there are 500 people in subscribers, and after this number you can write in third-party groups on behalf of the public, I will definitely transfer the group to closed ones and try to leave a post on the wall of some group.
I'll let you know what happens immediately. In the meantime, I’m gaining a little subscribers to start with.
How to send messages from a group from your phone
You can also publish posts this way from your phone. You need to log into your account not from the application, but from a mobile browser, and enable the full version of the site. The algorithm is the same as with a PC.
From the application you need to select the “New entry” option. We write our post in the window, and then click on the “Without signature” option below and confirm the publication.
You can also reply to comments from the app. Just click on the text you want to react to and the “Reply on behalf of the community” window will pop up above it.
If you just want to leave a comment under the post, then you should hold down the send button under the written text. And the “Reply from...” option will appear again.
How to write to VK on behalf of a group in the mobile version
In the mobile version everything is almost the same as in the desktop version.
To write on the wall of your group on behalf of the community, click on the gear next to the Publish button and check the “On behalf of the group” checkbox.
How to write on a wall on behalf of a community in the mobile version
Write in discussions on behalf of the group as well as on the wall.
But these settings need to be made to create a new topic in discussions in the mobile version.

How to publish posts in someone else's public page
To write on VK on behalf of a group, you must be its moderator or administrator. This means that you won’t be able to leave posts in someone else’s community. To do this, you need to join it, obtain the necessary status, and then leave posts according to the principle discussed above - on your own or on behalf of the community. After clicking the Submit button, the post is automatically added to the wall. The prohibition on leaving entries in someone else's community is understandable. It is unlikely that any administrator would want everyone to unsubscribe from their page.
How to create an event?
Before proceeding directly to creating an event, you must enable this option in the public settings:
- Go to Community Management.
- On the right, select Sections.
- Find the "Events" item and turn them on.
- Save your changes.
After completing the steps, a button for creating an event will appear on the public page.
- Click it.
- Indicate the name, select the topic and type of event, indicate the start and end time, contact information and address (if necessary).
- Click the "Create" button.
Ready! The event is now created and you can go to its page to publish content and invite new participants.
A week before the event starts, all group members will receive a notification. At the same time, you can send up to 5,000 invitations per day. You can invite friends and members of your public pages.

Why can't I post?
If a user makes a complaint like: I can’t write on behalf of the VKontakte group, then, first of all, the assumption that comes to mind is that he is not from the management. This means that it simply does not have the rights to publish with such design.
If the assumption is not correct, then the problem may be that the name of the public page from which the post should come from has not been pressed.
It may be that the user does everything correctly, but the publication still does not come from the public. Perhaps the admin has prohibited commenting on posts from the community.
Possible reason #3
If you are still not on the group’s blacklist, but still cannot write comments, then the last possible reason is glitches in your browser, computer, mobile application, phone, tablet, or Internet connection. This often happens: a person has something going wrong, but he thinks that the problem is on the VKontakte website, but not with him. But problems in the VK itself are very rare. Instead of sitting idly by, it's better to fix your problem and you can comment again!
If you cannot write comments in the VK mobile application or they do not open at all, try clearing the temporary files of the application or reinstalling it. How this is done, see here:
- What to do if messages in the VK application are not loaded
On a computer or laptop, you can try the following options:
Reload the page completely
In the browser, the Ctrl-F5 completely reloads the page. This sometimes helps. On your tablet or phone, reload the page with the button. It is also worth clearing your browser cache (temporary files):
Clear cache and cookies (temporary files)
How to do this, read the instructions Not included in Contact? Solution (opens in a new window). After clearing the cookies, you will have to log in to VK again (enter your password).
Extra programs and extensions? Delete them
If your browser is Google Chrome, open the extensions using the link chrome://extensions (copy and paste it in a new window). If "KIS Security Shield" is listed, that may be the problem. Delete it (the “trash can” button to the right of it) or simply disable it (uncheck it by clicking on it). At the same time, you can disable other extensions if you don’t need them.
If you have Kaspersky antivirus, try updating it to the latest version.
Another reason: maybe you have a program for downloading music from VK (such as VKSaver), posting pictures on the wall, and the like? Or a browser extension? Or an ad blocker (like AdBlock)? If something is broken in it, it can interfere. Delete it all, restart your computer and try again.
Try another browser
Very often the problem is solved by just installing a different browser. Download and install something new - for example, Chrome or Firefox. Launch it and type vhod.cc - the address of the start page. Log in to VK using the “Login” button and check if you can comment in the group. If everything is fine, then the problem was in the browser.
If you have Windows, clean the hosts file
How to clean the hosts file is well explained here: Not logged into Contact? Solution (opens in a new window). Don't forget to check your antivirus as well.
Rarely, but it happens: it may be a technical problem
Sometimes, extremely rarely, there are technical problems on the VKontakte website that are completely out of your control. Nothing can be done about it. In this case, all that remains is to wait.
