A number of groups hold online or hybrid (online and in-person) meetings. Online and hybrid meetings can be found on the Meetings page and the Meeting Guide App on your iOS or Android phone or tablet.
Remember, you are not limited to visiting the meeting closest to you…no online meeting is too far away to attend!
You can join an online meeting using your computer, tablet, or cell phone. Online meeting attendees can maintain their anonymity by not using or displaying their last name at online meetings.

* It is important to note that, according to Tradition Six, A.A. and Area 80 are not affiliated with nor do we endorse the Zoom platform. The Zoom platform is only used as a tool to hold regular A.A. meetings. Information provided on using Zoom to attend online meetings is provided in the spirit of being helpful.
Groups which hold online meetings have expenses, and often support their local Central Office, District, Area, and the General Service Office. Though there are no membership dues for A.A.; groups are self-supporting through the voluntary contributions of their own members (Tradition Seven). Information on self-support is provided by the individual groups.
