I am very excited for your group to continue to connect during this time of social distancing and would like to be of help to you in any way I can. I hope this guide is helpful in this process and please feel free to reach out with any questions! My email is kelly@allsaintsknoxville.com

This article from Blessed is She has some great tips on how to both set up a virtual meeting and tips for managing the group now that it is in this new format. 

The author also made this video on the same topic. 

Suggested Platforms for Video Conferencing:

Google Hangouts: Google Hangouts is an easy way to schedule your group meetings. It requires a Google account for each person (free) and allows you to schedule meetings through Google calendar, which will send invites to each person. Here is the tutorial for setting up a meeting. It is easiest to create an event in the Calendar with the date and time, invite others with their google email address, then click “add conferencing” so that they will be able to join into the Google Hangout at the scheduled time.  

Zoom: Zoom is a very popular meeting platform and is free to use when you sign up for an account. You will then schedule a meeting through Zoom which can be linked to calendar platforms like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. Here is a video tutorial for setting up a meeting. 

Facetime: Facetime might be the most easy and familiar for those with Apple products so if there’s a chance your group all owns Apple products (iPhone, Mac, iPad) this may be the simplest.  Here is a tutorial on how to Facetime with multiple people. 

For each of these please let me know if you have any questions or now I can be of help!
