In light of the recent CDC and National recommendations and recent surges in Covid cases, some groups may not feel comfortable meeting in person. If you're looking for ways to meet, consider using platforms like Google Hangouts, Zoom, or FaceTime to connect as a group. Here are some helpful tips for each platform:

Google Hangouts (How to Guide)

-Pros: easy to use, simple and straightforward, needs no installation of an app or program

-Cons: Google account required to host a hangout, not helpful for those who do not use G-suite much, low-quality video

Zoom (How to Guide)

-Pros: more helpful features than most platforms, high-quality video, allows for "break out rooms" that could be used for guys and girls prayer times at the end of the group; as well as triads for debriefing the teaching

-Cons: must download the program or app to use, not as intuitive or straightforward as some video call programs, a free version only allows for a 40-minute call at a time

FaceTime (How to Guide)

-Pros: simplest and easiest to use platform

-Cons: all participants must have an apple product to use, no extra features only video, can lag at times
