Video Chat & Conferencing Services
Choose the service to use with the game so everyone can talk and see each other. Here are some popular ones:
- FaceTime: If you are an Apple family or if you use text using iMessage, this is an easy option to use. It works for up to 32 people, across iPhone, iPad, and Macs.
- Zoom: The video chatting software many people use when working from home. It allows you to connect with up to 100 people for 40 minutes for free, but you'll need a monthly subscription to continue after that. Can use Gallery View so everyone can see everyone at the same time and screen share too.
- Google Hangout: This video chat option from Google will allow up to 10 people to join at once, and works across desktop and mobile.
- Skype: The Skype video chat may be the virtual communication parents older relatives already use. Free screen sharing on desktop or mobile, allows up to 50 people to join.
