1. A processor-executable user interface at least configured to:
- receive a group detail indicator included in a request to initiate group communication as input, wherein the group detail indicator provides information on at least an identity of a group and a type of the group; and
determine to present information provided as part of the input,wherein the identity of the group includes a uniform resource identifier or a uniform resource locator address, andwherein the type of group indicates how the group behaves, and comprises an ad hoc group, a pre-arranged chat group, or a one-to-one group, wherein the type of group is configured to be included in at least one message header compliant with a signaling protocol or at least one session description compliant with a media streaming protocol, and the uniform resource identifier or the uniform resource locator address is configured to be included in the at least one message header or the at least one session description, and wherein the signaling protocol is a protocol session initiation protocol (SIP), or the media streaming protocol is a session description protocol (SDP) and wherein the type of group is defined as a group type parameter, and the group type parameter is included in a new SIP header field added to the SIP, or the group type parameter is included in a new SDP attribute added to the SDP.

5. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus at least to; receive a group detail indicator included in a request to initiate group communication, wherein the group detail indicator provides information on at least an identity of a group and a type of the group; and determine to present information provided by the group detail indicator, wherein the identity of the group includes a uniform resource identifier or a uniform resource locator address, and wherein the type of group indicates how the group behaves, and comprises an ad hoc group, a pre-arranged chat group, or a one-to-one group, wherein the type of group is configured to be included in at least one message header compliant with a signaling protocol or at least one session description compliant with a media streaming protocol, and the uniform resource identifier or the uniform resource locator address is configured to be included in the at least one message header or the at least one session description, and wherein the signaling protocol is a protocol session initiation protocol (SIP), or the media streaming protocol is a session description protocol (SDP) and wherein the type of group is defined as a group type parameter, and the group type parameter is included in a new SIP header field added to the SIP, or the group type parameter is included in a new SDP attribute added to the SDP.
