will still be/will be still

Hello,

I'd like to ask you about the position of "still" in a sentence on this example:

"A year from now, all of us in this group will be communicating."

Should it be: "...... will still be communicating" or "...." will be still communicating"?

Thank you

will still be is the usual placing.


(If you omit 'still', as in your first example, it implies you are not communicating at present.)
