Which online platforms do you recommend for virtual meetings?

Whichever platform is easiest for you to use! You might consider Skype, Google Meet, Zoom, FaceTime (only if everyone has an iPhone), or a similar platform. You’ll want to make sure that you can “host” the number of participants you want, that the controls are easy for you to use, and that there’s no time limit on your meeting. (Tip: the free version of Zoom “times out” at 40 minutes, so consider paying for their basic membership so you can have unlimited time on your sessions, or train your participants to “re-join” the meeting when it cuts out at the 40-minute mark.)
