Hey there, fellow Google Meet hosts! Ever find yourself wondering if your audience is nodding along or just nodding off during your Anti Money Laundering (AML) training sessions? We’ve all been there! Engaging your audience isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must-have. When folks are truly engaged, they retain more, they participate more, and they’re much more likely to look forward to your sessions. Let’s dive into how you can up your game using some cool features from StreamAlive.
Map the Minds with Magic Maps
Alright, let’s kick things off with Magic Maps. Imagine asking your attendees, 'Hey, where are you guys tuning in from?' and then boom—a live map shows everyone’s locations. For an AML session, this can be super relevant! How about asking your audience where in the world they’ve encountered various money-handling practices? Or even ask them which global financial hubs they are familiar with! Watching it all light up on a world map can spark a great discussion on global AML compliance challenges.

Open the Floor with Opinion Polls
For those open-ended gems, there’s Opinion Polls. Let’s say you’re discussing red flags of money laundering—why not throw a poll up asking participants to share any red flags they’ve encountered in their experience? Or ask for opinions on recent AML regulatory changes. StreamAlive captures everyone’s input, making it visible to all, and you can even filter out any off-topic comments if needed. This not only gives everyone a chance to speak but also enriches the session with varied perspectives.
Gauge the Room with Power Polls
Next on our list is Power Polls—a dynamic way to get real-time feedback on your AML content. Ask your audience about their confidence in handling AML processes, or what more they’d like to explore in future sessions. This helps you adjust on the fly and caters directly to their learning needs. And hey, seeing the poll results live can encourage more people to add their voices to the mix.

Spin Up the Excitement with Winner Wheel
Let’s move on to the Winner Wheel, or as I like to call it, the 'audience engagement turbocharger'. Got a tricky question mid-session? Reward a participant by letting the Winner Wheel pick a lucky commenter to share their thoughts first. During an AML session, you can choose winners from those who correctly identify risky financial transactions. Or, how about rewarding attendees who’ve made the most insightful contributions throughout? This creates a spirit of healthy competition and goes a long way in making sessions lively.

Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words
Finally, wrapping it all up is Wonder Words, a real crowd-pleaser! As you discuss the basics of AML compliance, ask your audience to throw words into the chat that they associate with the topic. Watch as key themes literally grow before your eyes! Try questions like, 'What’s the first thing that comes to mind with AML?' or 'Name a financial crime you’ve heard of.' It’s an awesome way to instantly reflect the big ideas your attendees are holding onto and ensures they’re actively thinking throughout the session.

Simplify Decisions with Choice Circle
Next on our list is Power Polls—a dynamic way to get real-time feedback on your AML content. Ask your audience about their confidence in handling AML processes, or what more they’d like to explore in future sessions. This helps you adjust on the fly and caters directly to their learning needs. And hey, seeing the poll results live can encourage more people to add their voices to the mix.
