When you're running a live session on Google Meet, like an Emotional Intelligence workshop, keeping your crowd engaged is key. If your participants are yawning or zoning out, they're not soaking up all the good stuff you're sharing. Engaged attendees pay more attention, ask more questions, and ultimately walk away having learned a lot. So, really connecting with your audience is super important for the impact it'll have. That's where StreamAlive can be your go-to buddy!
Plot the World of Emotions: Using Magic Maps
When you're on Google Meet, starting off with where people are joining from is a game-changer. StreamAlive’s 'Magic Maps' can light up your session right from the start. Picture this: everyone in the chat drops their location, and bam—a real-time world map shows all those spots, creating a visual connection among your attendees. It’s like a global meet-up! You can ask your audience about where they dream of traveling next or even which city holds a special memory for them related to emotions. It’s a fun way to break the ice and make them feel seen and heard.

Deep Dive into Thoughts: Opinion Polls
For a deeper understanding of your audience, StreamAlive’s 'Open Ended Polls' are brilliant. Instead of set options, let your audience share their thoughts in their own words. How about asking them, 'What aspect of Emotional Intelligence do they find most challenging?' Collecting these open responses can lead to insightful discussions and give you a solid sense of everyone's unique perspectives, which makes your session richer and more personalized.
Keep the Pulse: Power Polls in Action
Using 'Power Polls' on Google Meet can instantly energize your discussions. Imagine asking everyone how they rate their own Emotional Intelligence skills from 1 to 10. Real-time results rolling in can spark lively debates or discussions. You could also dive into favorite Emotional Intelligence exercises or techniques. Quick, easy, and the results keep everyone in the loop, living in the moment.

Engage and Excite: Spin with Winner Wheel
Use StreamAlive’s Winner Wheel when you notice some folks getting quiet. It’s super interactive! Say you’re discussing a key Emotional Intelligence skill and you want more participation. You can set up the wheel to pick a random winner from those who comment. Maybe ask them to share a personal experience related to empathy or patience, and use the wheel to choose a participant to receive a small prize or special recognition. It turns simple commenting into an exciting opportunity for everyone to join in.

Create a Picture of Thoughts: Wonder Words
You can turn your Meet chat box into an expressive canvas with 'Wonder Words'. Ask a question like 'Describe your Emotional Intelligence in one word'. As responses flow in, watch as a colorful word cloud forms before their eyes. Popular words become larger, driving home key points visually. This not only livens up the session but also provides a powerful and immediate visual of what’s resonating most with your audience. Perfect for a dynamic wrap-up or reflection session.
