What are Moodle Groups and how to setup Groups in Moodle?

In order to encourage collaborative work with online learning, you can use Moodle groups & groupings which put your students in different groups with other students.
Groups can be especially useful for activities where students interact with one another. With forums, wikis, and databases, students in the same group can post and reply only to each other. Each group member always works in their own group, but you can control whether or not they can see contributions of members of other groups.
A group or grouping can be used on two levels:
Course Level - The group mode defined at the course level is the default mode for all activities defined within that course. To use groups you need first to set a group mode in Course Settings.
Activity Level - Each activity that supports groups can also have its own group mode defined. If the course setting "Force group mode" is set to "Yes" then the option to define the group mode for individual activities is not available. If it is set to "No", then the teacher may change the group mode
Now after differentiating between Course level & activity level groups. Let us define the group modes. There are three group modes:
No groups - There are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community
Separate groups - Each group can only see their own group, others are invisible.
Visible groups - Each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups
Once the group mode is set for the course or activity, students will interact with your Moodle course as they normally would. The only difference will be the people they meet in certain activities, such as forums.
For example, if you set the group mode of a forum to separate groups, Moodle will create a forum for each group. Each student will see the same link to the forum, but she will be able to access only the discussions for her particular group. You need to create the forum only once; Moodle takes care of creating the individual group forums.
In this video we will see how you create groups in Moodle course and how you can use them. How you can auto create groups in Moodle etc.

Hello, the tutorial is informative, but the background noise can be quite bothersome.

Thanks for the feedback, we will reduce that in future screencasts.

How can we add a specific group of students to Teacher A?
This Teacher A should not see other students; he should only be able to see his group of students.
He can see all his students' progress reports and activities.
For example:
We have a new tenant, and under that new tenant, they want to register 50 students and 2 teachers for IELTS and ESOL.
These 50 students will belong to these 2 teachers only.
These 2 teachers should not be able to see other teachers, other students, or other courses.
Also, these 2 teachers should not see other tenants.
How do we make it?
