Megillah
Halacha for virtual Megillah
If you have a kosher Megillah, you can listen to a recording as you read along. Make sure to enunciate each word and not just read along with your eyes. If you are being Motzei someone at the same time, you should listen to the recording with earphones so that the person you are being Motzei will only hear you.
You cannot be Yotzei on Zoom.
