Is it possible to have multiple cams in groups?

Hello!
So I have currently multiple cameras configured remotely on my Blue Iris Remote CCTV software.
I would like to group every bunch of cameras together, based on country, and have different group views if possible?
I tried to search for such settings but couldn't find anything.
Thank you!

Hi,
Can you describe a bit more what you are trying to do ?
Is this multiple cameras that appear in one instance of BI5 ?
Or multiple instances of BI5 in different locations/ countries that you want to group together ?
I'm confused, and I've not had a beer yet

I want to have multiple Camera Views:
1- Main view that covers all the cameras
2- Selective views based on camera groups I want to create (if possible of course).

Of course, by using 'Groups'.
1. Go into each camera you want to be part of a group.
2. In the 'General' tab, next to 'Groups' click the 'Select' button. On the first camera, you'll need to 'Add' a new group name.
3. On other cameras you want in that group(s), select the group(s).
Notes:
- A camera can belong to as many groups as you want.
- Do NOT use camera long/short names for the group names. If yu hve clones of a camera and you want all master/clones in a group, name it something like 'Camera1-Cams'.
