Hey there, session hosts! We all know that keeping our audience engaged during a live session is crucial, especially for those Remote Employee Skill Development sessions on MS Teams. When your attendees are involved, they're more likely to retain information, participate actively, and come back for more. Engaging your audience isn't just a nice-to-have; it's what makes your session impactful and memorable.
Using Magic Maps for Global Connection
Kick off your session by asking your audience: 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' With StreamAlive's Magic Maps, you can plot everyone's locations on a real-time map right in your MS Teams session. It's like turning your virtual meeting into a global gathering! You can even get creative by asking attendees to share their dream travel spot or a city that holds special memories for them. It breaks the ice and creates a sense of community, making everyone feel connected, no matter where they are.

Open-Ended Opinion Polls for Diverse Perspectives
For more in-depth feedback or collecting diverse opinions, open-ended polls are your best friend. Use them to ask questions like 'What remote work challenge have you recently overcome?' or 'Share a tip that's improved your productivity.' StreamAlive's polls allow you to capture these insights directly from the chat and display them for everyone to see. It turns your session into a collaborative learning experience, where everyone can learn from each other's experiences.
Power Polls for Instant Insights
Engage your audience and gather instant feedback with Power Polls. Run a poll asking, 'What's the one skill you want to develop in today’s session?' or 'How confident do you feel about remote work challenges?' StreamAlive's Power Polls will showcase the results in real-time. This not only keeps the session interactive but helps you adjust content to meet the interests and needs of your team. It's a win-win: valuable insights for you and a personalized experience for your attendees.

Using Winner Wheel to Get Everyone Talking
Sometimes sessions can go quiet, and that's where the Winner Wheel shines. As you dive into your Remote Employee Skill Development session, encourage participation by picking a random winner from those who comment. For instance, you could say, 'Let's see who's been the most engaged so far!' and let the wheel spin to pick someone who answered a question or shared a personal insight from their own remote work experience. It’s a fun way to reward participation and convince more people to join the conversation.

Wonder Words for Visual Engagement
Create an engaging atmosphere with Wonder Words by generating real-time word clouds from the chat. As you discuss key topics, ask your audience to summarize their thoughts in one word. For example, 'What's the first word that comes to mind when you think of leadership?' or 'Name a tool you can't live without in remote work.' As responses flood in, watch the most popular words grow larger, providing a visual reflection of your audience's thoughts and feelings. It's a fantastic way to see what's resonating most with your audience.

Choice Circle for Interactive Decisions
Engage your audience and gather instant feedback with Power Polls. Run a poll asking, 'What's the one skill you want to develop in today’s session?' or 'How confident do you feel about remote work challenges?'
