# Stream

The Stream is the primary interface of Hylo and is a feed of posts created by members in your Group.

The **Stream** is your group's live feed of all Post activity. Think of it as the group's front page — a running record of what's been shared, discussed, and documented across your group.\
\
See [Posts](/hylo/guides/hylo-user-guide-1/posts.md).&#x20;

A few key things to know about it:

* **It surfaces Posts, not chats.** Chat messages stay inside their chat rooms; the Stream is where Posts live and are discoverable by everyone.
* **Posts flow into the Stream automatically** — whether they were created directly in the Stream, or inside a Chat room. If someone posts inside a working group's chat room, it still shows up in the Stream so the broader community can find it.
* **You can create Posts from the Stream**, but not chat messages — those can only be created inside a Chat room.
* **You can filter it** by post type — Events, Offers, Discussions, Proposals, etc. — so it's easy to find exactly what you need.

## **Sort the Stream**

Sort the stream by Latest Activity, the Post Date and by “Popular” posts, which are those with the most reactions.

## Filter the Stream

Filter the stream by the post type - **“**&#x44;iscussion”, “Events”, “Offers”, “Projects”, “Requests”, or “Resources". As an example, if you chose the filter the stream by "Events," you will see a stream of events posted in the Group.

## Adjust the Stream View

Adjust your Stream View using the icons in the upper right of the stream. Chose between between a Card view, List view, Large Grid, and Small Grid views.&#x20;

## Search the Stream

Search the Stream by keyword by using the magnifying glass icon.&#x20;

## Show "Child" Group Posts on the Stream

* A toggle to turn on or off the aggregated display of posts from child groups (that you are a member of) in the stream of the parent group. Subgroup posts show up in the parent group stream ONLY for those who are members of that child group and parent group.&#x20;

## Interact with Posts on the Stream

Clicking on a Post pops it on the side so you can interact with it. Learn more about interacting with posts [here](/hylo/guides/hylo-user-guide-1/posts/interacting-with-posts.md).&#x20;
