# Adding ВК

The bot can work in a chat or a VKontakte group. To connect VK, select the VKontakte logo in the "add channel" menu:

![](/files/3zvCMvepirHu3EmQa8lG)

You will be redirected to the VKontakte authorization page and after passing it, the VK groups in which you are an administrator will appear in the list of available groups. Select the desired group where you want to add the bot and click "create a channel":

![](/files/rRyAPW2kEVTR9ch3H71V)

After that, you will be redirected to the VK page, where you need to grant rights to work with the group:

![](/files/4D2O0tJzdNPxeUWAMx1E)

Click the "Allow" button at the bottom of the page. 

The selected VK group will appear in the list of connected channels:

![](/files/lLErLAykDQ7NeQa4crdT)

{% hint style="info" %}
The admin account of the VKontakte group is automatically linked when adding a VK channel. If you add your colleagues to the project, they will need to link their VK account according to [this instruction](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-M0DMiuC0q5onO-ID_le/s/uRfd5lEYYH6D50QjzeAX/~/changes/996w3IhouLXkvHdJdNpB/beginning-of-work/how-to-add-messenger/adding-vk#undefined).
