groupmate
Partner in collaboration
A groupmate is someone who belongs to the same group as you—a classmate in a group project, a fellow member of a study group, or a teammate in a multiplayer game.
The term emphasizes shared membership rather than close relationship: My groupmates and I divided up the research.
Common in academic and gaming contexts.
