We all know that keeping our audience engaged during live sessions on Google Meet is not just important—it's crucial. When your audience is actively involved, information sticks better, and they’re more likely to remember what they learned. Engaged attendees are also more likely to return for future sessions, spreading the word, and building a strong community around your workshops. Let’s dive into some fun and interactive ways to keep your audience on their toes using StreamAlive’s features!
Put Your Audience on the Map with Magic Maps
Magic Maps is fantastic to break the ice and get your audience involved right from the get-go. Start by asking, 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' and watch as locations light up on the map. This not only makes everyone feel connected, no matter where they are but also creates a visual representation of your global or regional reach. Have some fun by asking participants to share their dream travel destinations or places they hold dear. This feature turns a mundane introduction into a visually engaging and participatory experience, perfect for setting the right tone for the workshop.
Open Up the Floor with Opinion Polls
For those questions that require more than a yes or no, Opinion Polls let attendees express a broader range of thoughts. If you’re exploring ideas in a brainstorming workshop, ask, 'Why do you think this solution will work?' or 'Share your biggest challenge related to this topic.' This type of poll gives everyone a voice and provides valuable insights that can spark further discussion. It's a great way to dive deeper into topics and explore different perspectives.
Get Instant Feedback with Power Polls
Power Polls are a brilliant way to gauge what your audience thinks in real time. During a session, pose questions like, 'What’s the next big trend in our industry?' or 'How confident do you feel about today’s topic?' By getting live feedback, not only do you keep your audience engaged, but you also tailor the session to their needs. Plus, it opens up avenues for discussions based on the poll results, which keeps the interaction flowing and relevant.
Create Excitement with the Winner Wheel
The Winner Wheel is a great tool to keep the energy high throughout your session. Use it to reward those who contribute with their ideas in the chatbox or answer questions during brainstorming. Announce at the start that active participants get a chance to win a prize and watch the conversation take off! If you’re discussing a challenging topic, you could also use the wheel to randomly select who explains their point of view next—keeping everyone on their toes and ready to participate.
Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words
Wonder Words is a dynamic way to see the common themes and thoughts of your audience as they chat. During a brainstorming workshop, prompt participants with questions like 'What’s one word that comes to mind when you think of innovation?' or 'Share a quick tip you think everyone should know.' As responses flood in, participants see their contributions shape the conversation visually. It’s a fantastic way to capture the essence of a group’s ideas and see what's resonating most. Plus, it keeps them typing, which means they’re actively thinking and engaged.
