Hey there, MS Teams wizards! Let's talk about the art of keeping your audience glued to their screens during your Customer Due Diligence AML Training. You know how tricky it can be, especially when everyone’s day is packed with back-to-back meetings. But engaging them isn't just about keeping them awake; it's about making sure they walk away with the knowledge you're trying to impart. Engaged attendees are more likely to retain information, participate actively, and—most importantly—come back for more. So, how do we make that happen? Let’s dive into some nifty tricks using StreamAlive’s features.
Get Geographically Creative with Magic Maps
Kick off your AML training on MS Teams with a bang by using Magic Maps to create a real-time connection. How? Start by asking your attendees to drop their locations in the chat with a question like, 'Where in the world are you making your due diligence decisions?' This instantly gets people involved while populating a fascinating visual on the world map. Dive deeper with questions like, 'What city would you love to visit for a compliance conference?' or 'Which location has the most complex regulations you've dealt with?' Seeing a map light up with pins adds a visual spark to the session, keeping everyone alert and interactive.

Gather Insights with Opinion Polls
Open-ended Opinion Polls are your best friend when collecting diverse views. Pose a question like, 'What's one thing you’d change in current AML regulations?' Let your audience write freely and collect varied responses. Use this for questions that don't have a set 'correct' answer, like 'What's the biggest risk factor you consider during due diligence?' Collating these responses shows the group that their opinion counts and provides a broad spectrum of insights that boost the training’s relevance.
Make a Point with Power Polls
Kick engagement up a notch with Power Polls. These real-time polls captivate attendees and showcase collective opinions. For instance, ask, 'What’s your go-to tool for consumer risk assessment?' and offer choices like 'Software A', 'Software B', etc. sharing results in real-time can spark dialogue or even a friendly debate. Another great query is, 'How comfortable do you feel implementing AML policies?' This not only gauges knowledge but also identifies training gaps that need to be addressed.

Spicing Things Up with Winner Wheel
You know how some folks are shy on MS Teams? One way to get everyone chatting is by throwing a Winner Wheel into the mix. After discussing a key AML concept, announce a quick pop quiz question and invite responses in the chat. Pick a winner from those who participated, not only making the session lively but also rewarding active involvement. Try this: 'What’s the most challenging aspect of customer due diligence you've encountered?' Winners feel valued, and the entire group leans in, paying closer attention to bag their own win.

Capture the Essence with Wonder Words
Want to visualize group sentiment? Use Wonder Words! Start by asking recall-based questions post-discussion, such as 'What one word summarizes your approach to due diligence?' or 'Share one takeaway from today’s session you can’t wait to apply.' As responses fly, watch the popular ones grow bigger onscreen. This creates a visually impactful summary of the group’s thoughts, reinforcing concepts while sparking additional comments as participants see their words in action. It’s a conversation starter like none other!

Let’s Decide Together with Choice Circle
Kick engagement up a notch with Power Polls. These real-time polls captivate attendees and showcase collective opinions. For instance, ask, 'What’s your go-to tool for consumer risk assessment?' and offer choices like 'Software A', 'Software B', etc. sharing results in real-time can spark dialogue or even a friendly debate. Another great query is, 'How comfortable do you feel implementing AML policies?' This not only gauges knowledge but also identifies training gaps that need to be addressed.
