# How to configure a Partyline

## Scope

A Partyline gives users the ability to talk with and listen to anyone else in a given Partyline. We will cover how to set this up.

## Configuration

Open Dashboard, and you will see the Partyline settings in the lower right quadrant, by Groups and IFBs. Make sure to select the *Partylines* tab, and click on the blue **ADD** button on the right.

> [!WARNING]
> Partylines and Groups look similar, but they are very different. More information about the difference between Partylines and Groups can be found here: [What's the difference between Groups and Partylines?](/v1/docs/whats-the-difference-between-groups-and-partylines)

When you click **ADD**, you will be given a chance to name your Partyline and change the colors for how it will be shown on the panel. You can always change these settings later by double-clicking on the Partyline. For now, enter a name, and either press Enter, or scroll down and select **CREATE**. You should now see the following configuration window:

1. **Inputs** are any inputs that you would like to be included in a Partyline. Keep in mind that this input would always be active, and anyone in the Partyline would always be able to listen to this input.
2. **Outputs** are any output that you might want to route the mix of the Partyline to. For example, this might be a small speaker on a producer's desk.
3. **Devices** are where you will configure any Infinity panels or beltpacks that you would like to be included in the Partyline. You can also do Virtual Ports. Putting a Virtual Port would be helpful if you are using Link to connect two Infinity locations together over the internet (more information about this can be found here: [How to configure a connection using Link](/v1/docs/how-to-set-up-a-connection-over-link))

You can now drag and drop this Partyline to any key on any panel that you would like to be included on the Partyline.
