It won’t let you deed?

Your group “role” needs to allow you to deed objects to the group. This can be checked from the group admin page by the following steps. Bring up the “Group Information” window and click on the “Members & Roles” tab (1). Then choose the “Roles” tab (2) and finally the role you want to check (3). Here we will check the “Officers”.

If media doesn’t start autimatically you may also need to press the “Play” button in the controls that appear at the bottom right of your viewer. The first controls are for streaming audio, the second for media, and then volume control. The audio controls are faded since there is no audio streaming on the parcel. Notice how the media controls are not faded.
