However, remote apps like video chat and EVites make it possible for families to still connect for large gatherings from a distance. Here are some of the best apps for remote family reunions that can ensure you and your family are still able to enjoy time together.

Best Video Chat Apps for Family Reunions 

We’re probably all familiar with easy video chat apps like Facetime, but there are others that allow for many users to join at once. Connecting over these can be done from a desktop or laptop computer, as well as mobile devices like phones and tablets. Most of these are free and just need one person to host the event from their device and invites to be sent to others.
