I've seen that I can make it so certain users are displayed there, but how do I make it so people in groups are displayed there?

Mark them as staff by editing the users.

Is there an easier way or more automated way to do this? Like, if the user is added to a group then they are displayed on the "staff online now" automatically?

No, unless you make them a moderator or administrator via the appropriate pages in the ACP. You could accomplish it via conditionals and template edits.
