There are a few ways to say "you" in Spanish

Informal: you = (a friend or someone younger then you)

Formal: you = Usted (for example your boss)

Plural informal: you (all) = Vosotros (a group of friends) this is only used in Spain.

Plural formal: you (all) = Ustedes

Think I got em all now raspberry

vosotros is the plural informal second person subject used in Spain. However, Latin Americans used ustede formally and informally to refer to a group of people.

Vosotros is a plural way of sayin you i.e. addressing more than one person at the same time and formally Ustedes.
