GD77 Listening two groups

I'm biginner in DMR and have problem I try to describe. I use GD77 as hotspot with pi-star and AnyTone 878 as radio talking to that hotspot. I'm living in Poland so mostly I listen group 260 but I'm also talking on different groups. Even if I switch my Anytone do different group my GD77 shows that group on the screen (for example TG6) but still GD77 transmits group 260 and also group I switched to. Is it any way GD77 to transmit only group I'm interesting in. It's irritating to listen group I do not like to listen and also when transmition on 260 is going I can't talk to the group I would like to talk. I hope description of my problem is not so complicated. If somebody can help me I'll appreciate.

The GD-77 as hotspot has no control on the PC/TG your Anytone is transmitting to, it just transmit to MMDVMHost what it receives.
What you see on the GD-77 screen is what your Anytone is transmitting. So, on your Anytone, you have to select the correct Channel (like the one set for TG-260, TS2, and correct colorcode) before transmitting.
EDIT: at the end of the USB cable, it's up to MMDVMHost//DMRGateway configurations, which you can tweak using the Pi-Star web interface.
Cheers.

send 4000 to disconnect, then connect to the group you want

You can monitor two talkgroups at once.
The last TG you transmit to becomes your auto-static talkgroup.
If you have not yet transmitted to 4000 (to disconnect), the 2nd to the last TG becomes the dynamic talkgroup.
BM will route traffic to both auto-static and dynamic talkgroup to your user ID.
There is a hold time, however, so when there is activity for example on your auto-static (the last TG you transmitted to), it will wait a certain number of seconds to monitor both TGs again.
Here is a better discussion:

Thank you very much for your help. It seems to work. Thank you also for the link to the article. Now, my GD77 hotspot will be more functional for me.
