Talking about multiple people.
What pronoun do you use when you are talking about more than one person?

Don't forget also object pronouns which describe to what/whom or for what/whom something occurs.
Les and Los/las. And also Nos for when you are speaking about a group of people of whom you are included.
Les gusta bailar - It pleases them to dance.
Demelos. Give me those.
Nos ayudaba. He was helping us.
Pardon the lack of accents. I'm using my phone.
It also depends if you mean subject pronouns, direct object pronouns, or indirect object pronouns. Modrak already covered the subject pronouns.
Direct object pronouns:
Nos = us
Os = vosotros, vosotras (Spain only)
Los = ustedes (masculine), ellos
Las = ustedes (all feminine), ellas
Indirect object pronouns:
Nos = us
Os = vosotros, vosotras (Spain only)
Les = ustedes, ellos, ellas
It depends on who the people are.
We = Nosotros
They = Ellos (masculine, even if there's a million girls and 1 boy, you still use ellos)
They = Ellas (feminine)
Ustedes = You all
Vosotros = You all (used in Spain only)
Sometimes, when you are talking about a LARGE group of people, it can be useful to use the noun "la gente" - which takes the singular form of the verb.
Sometimes when the context is pretty clear, you can also use ordinal numbers. For example: "Vamos a tomar cafe, los dos", "We are going to have coffee, the two of us".
