#24We played racing karts on https://www.airconsole.com/ the other day with friends. We used WhatsApp for voice.

#25This is a really cool idea! My friends and I play games and watch movies through Zoom. We just screenshare one person's screen, and it usually works out. I'm not sure if there's a way to create a platform to play any game through Zoom, but if you have a Google Form with game requests, I'm sure you can very quickly scale up your offerings with confidence.
There are plenty of sites and tools for watching for watching together Netflix Party (browser extension): Syncs netflix SyncLounge (webapp): Syncs plex twoseven.xyz: Create a room and play Youtube, Netflix, Prime Videos, Hulu, or really any on any website with the extension Tuturu.tv / Caracal.club: Gives you a VM in the cloud where you can play any video and watch together.

#28Just to add another suggestion, Tabletop Simulator on Steam is pretty great and on sale now [1]. My friends and I used it to play our first online game of Catan on Saturday night, we used Discord for voice chat. We all have the boxed version but obviously we can't get together...
