Greetings for the day!!!

Today, got short learning about Viva Engage so thought to share.

• The base 64 encoding is an alphanumeric string that appears after groups/ and before /all in the browser’s address bar. 
• Copy the base 64 encoding.
• After copying this base 64 encoding, use an online tool to decode base 64.
• The base 64 decoder returns a value in curly brackets, such as {“_type”:”Group”,”id”:”9734848512″}
• Here, the group ID is 9734848512.
