Ambigous column name, cannot get table by group_id - sql-server

Question

I have SQL code to call my table in my Laravel controller like this:
elseif(auth()->user()->group_id){
$media = MediaOrder::memberOf(auth()->user()->group_id)
->join('users','users.nik','=','media_order.created_by')
->select('media_order.*','users.nickname')
->get();
But when I tried it it come up with an ambiguous column error, like this:
LOG.error: SQLSTATE[42000]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL
Server][SQL Server]Ambiguous column name 'group_id'. (SQL: select
[media_order].*, [users].[nickname] from [media_order] inner join
[users] on [users].[nik] = [media_order].[created_by] where [group_id]
= 6) {"userId":"101","exception":{"errorInfo":["42000",209,"[Microsoft][ODBC
Driver 11 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Ambiguous column name
'group_id'."]}
Does anyone has an solution to this? For joining between tables is working, but I just don't know how to use where to get the table based on group_id.
Thank you!.

It seems like both the media_order and users tables have a group_id column, so perhaps something like the following will allow you to distiguish between them...
$media = DB::table('media_order')
->join('users','users.nik','=','media_order.created_by')
->select('media_order.*','users.nickname')
->where('media_order.group_id', '=', auth()->user()->group_id)
->get();
