Hey there, Zoom hosts! We all know how tough it can be to keep everyone engaged during online sessions. We want our team to learn, participate, and most importantly, have fun. When they're engaged, they're attentive, and that means better participation and more learning happening naturally. But, how do you spice it up? How do you turn a regular remote team trivia game into something memorable and impactful? That's where StreamAlive's interaction features can help. Let’s get into it!

Put Your Team on the Map with Magic Maps

Alright, trivia hosts, let's start by getting everyone excited to be part of your session. With Magic Maps, when you ask your team where they're joining from, their answers pop up on an interactive map. How fun is it to see everyone from your trivia team scattered across the globe pop up in real-time? It's a great way to kick things off! For example, ask them, 'What's a dream travel spot you'd teleport to right now?' or 'Which city holds your favorite memories?' This little icebreaker can make participants feel part of a bigger collective right from the start, setting a great tone for your trivia session.

Capture Team Insights with Opinion Polls

Opinion Polls shake things up by diving into what's playing on your participants' minds. Throw in a poll like 'What's your favorite trivia night snack?' or ‘Which movie just blew your mind recently?', and you’ll get a mix of fun and interactive responses. This carries over into trivia questions too—like asking team members to name a superhero they’d love to play trivia against. You get the buzz going and everyone feels like they’re bringing their own flair to the night.

Make Decisions Easy with Power Polls

Power Polls are a host's best friend when you're looking to gauge the room’s vibe or make quick decisions. Run a live poll asking, 'What should our next trivia theme be—aester, movies, or sports?' or 'Should we do a lightning round next?' Participants can quickly type their option and you'll get instant results. It’s a win-win: they enjoy being part of the decision-making, and you get to know what keeps them engaged and excited.

Amp Up the Excitement with the Winner Wheel

The Winner Wheel, my friends, is a game-changer for Zoom trivia. First things first, you want everyone pumped about participating, and nothing does that better than a bit of friendly competition. As you progress, use the Winner Wheel to pick a winner randomly—say, for a bonus question or a trivia mini-prize! Imagine the excitement as everyone watches, hoping they’ll get picked. It’s super easy. Just set the criteria, maybe from people who have been most active in the chat, spin it, and let the wheel of fortune add a little excitement to your trivia night.

Uncover Buzzwords with Wonder Words

Want to see what's trending in your team’s minds? Wonder Words creates live word clouds from their chat responses. Kick off with an easy one like 'One word to describe your day' or 'What’s a trivia topic you’re pumped about?' As chats come in, watch the popular ones jump out bigger and brighter on screen. It’s like seeing the group's mood light up and lets you tailor what you're doing to keep the engagement high. Just make sure to keep topics snappy to get those one or two-word answers flowing fast. It’s interactive eye-candy that mixes it up and keeps your session looking fresh!

Decide the Fun Part with Choice Circle

Power Polls are a host's best friend when you're looking to gauge the room’s vibe or make quick decisions. Run a live poll asking, 'What should our next trivia theme be—aester, movies, or sports?' or 'Should we do a lightning round next?' Participants can quickly type their option and you'll get instant results. It’s a win-win: they enjoy being part of the decision-making, and you get to know what keeps them engaged and excited.
