I’m using Zoom. You can log yourself in with two devices so you can have a face to face view as well as a keyboard view.

I think it takes a little education for the students to get familiar with the different views and how to set up their device, etc. but it’s worked well so far.

Thus far, I have only used it personally in groups of 2-3 in combination with live class (as an alternative to make-ups). It works well. I’m a member of another Facebook community/group that features live masterclasses monthly, and the host uses Zoom very successfully in combination with a secondary host and then live-streams the feed to around 50-100 members (FB LIVE). He’s spoken a few times about using various different platforms and still thinks Zoom is just about the most stable and intuitive and affordable one on the market.

Yes, I use Zoom 90% of the time. I have groups and privates over the years online and they are their own learning curve. In some ways they are more focused than in Studio. You can have a passel of students all come online from different places. Had three states represented once when 2 people of three were out of town and we met online! They thought that was cool
