We used whatever avatars we put together.

Here's a link to Philip's avatar, which he intentionally kept basic for quite some time: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/517881-help-me...

And here's a shot of mine: https://www.flickr.com/photos/opensourceobscure/2476204733/i...

And about in-world meetings. One thing Second Life did VERY WELL was it was always clear who was speaking. If someone was talking, there were green arrows sort of exploding out of their avatar's head. You couldn't miss it. Web-Ex at the time was HORRIBLE in this regard. Teams, Google Meet and Zoom are a little better than Web-Ex, but when meeting in Second Life, you could adjust your camera to get a good view of everyone in the meeting which also helped out.
