Let's face it, nobody wants to sit through a boring Zoom call, right? And in a live virtual brainstorming workshop, keeping your audience engaged is crucial. Not only does it make your session more fun and interactive, but it also means your audience is more likely to pay attention, participate actively, and most importantly, remember the ideas discussed. More interaction equals better learning, and who doesn't want that?

Bring the World to Your Workshop with Magic Maps

Magic Maps is a great way to kick off your session with a bang! When you ask attendees where they're dialing in from, Magic Maps will plot their locations in real-time on a world map. It's like having an instant visual check-in that gets everyone involved from the get-go. You could even spice things up by asking about their dream travel destinations or which city holds their fondest memories. This not only makes everyone feel seen but it adds a bit of personal flair to the brainstorming session.

Capture Striking Ideas with Opinion Polls

Opinion Polls let you dive deeper into your audience's perspectives. During a brainstorming session, use these polls to gather unique ideas and viewpoints on complex questions or challenges. For example, ask participants about challenges they face in their respective fields or what solutions they think best address a current problem. The open-ended format ensures you're tapping into the full spectrum of ideas that the group can offer, leading to richer discussion and more innovative solutions.

Add Some Fun with a Winner Wheel

Who doesn't love a bit of friendly competition? As your session rolls on, the Winner Wheel can help bring chats and comments to life.

Whether it's for a fun trivia question related to your brainstorming topic or just random participation prizes, it's a great way to keep people talking and engaged. The anticipation of potentially being 'the chosen one' can be a real game changer!

Create a Visual Impact with Word Clouds

Word Clouds are brilliant for showing off your audience’s thoughts in a visual burst of creativity. Ask your participants for one-word answers on how they feel about certain ideas in the brainstorming session, or let them share what industries they’re in. As more attendees contribute, common ideas grow in size and prominence on screen, providing a snapshot of the group’s collective mindset. It’s the perfect way to bring some color to your session, both literally and metaphorically!
