When you own your own learning platform and host it yourself, it’s better to use a third party virtual meeting tool to host the actual live virtual meeting.

In the next section we discuss how to seamlessly integrate the live virtual meeting into your LifterLMS courses and/or lessons.

But first, it’s important to choose your live virtual meeting third party tool.

Our number one personal recommendation for hosting live virtual class meetings and webinars is Zoom.

Go to Meeting and Go to Webinar are also popular choices.

Some people choose to use Google Hangouts, YouTube Live, or Facebook Live as well.

Google Hangouts and YouTube Lives can be embedded on your website. Everything else mentioned here is in a separate app or website that would need to open for the live virtual meeting to happen
