Imagine you're hosting a graduation ceremony on MS Teams, and you want every attendee to not just watch, but feel like they're part of something memorable. Engaging your audience is key. It not only makes your live session lively, but it also enhances the overall impact and memory of the ceremony. You want them to remember those special moments years from now, right? Interactive tools like StreamAlive can make your audience feel connected and keep their attention locked in throughout the session.

Pinpoint Joy with Magic Maps!

Kick off your graduation session by asking attendees, 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' With StreamAlive's Magic Maps, you can display everyone's locations on a world map in real-time. It's a fantastic way to visually showcase the diversity of your audience. Use it as a fun icebreaker or as a sentimental moment by asking, 'Which city holds your fondest university memories?' or even dream big by asking, 'Which destination would you love to visit after graduation?' Magic Maps not only gets them involved from the get-go, but it also adds a personal touch as everyone sees their pin on the map.

Capture Thoughts with Opinion Polls

Sometimes you need to let your audience freely express their thoughts. With Opinion Polls, you can do just that. Ask them to share what they learned during their studies or what advice they would pass on to incoming students. Questions like, 'What's your most memorable lesson learned?' or 'Which quote from this ceremony will you keep with you?' can provide unfiltered, real-time feedback that you can use to adapt your ceremony on the fly or simply cherish for the future.

Gather Opinions with Power Polls

During your graduation ceremony, it can be beneficial to know what your audience is thinking. Power Polls can be used to ask attendees about their favorite graduation moment or perhaps their plans after graduating. Ask, 'What was your favorite subject during your studies?' or 'Which faculty would you like to thank the most?' This kind of feedback not only helps engage them, but also gives valuable insights into what resonated with them during their academic journey, making the ceremony more meaningful.

Spin to Win with the Winner Wheel

Want to keep your graduates and attendees on their toes? Try using the Winner Wheel throughout your session. For instance, during your speech intervals, you might say, 'Let’s see who wins a special shoutout next!' or 'Who's going to get a surprise gift from the alumni association?' The Winner Wheel randomly selects participants who have engaged in the chat, making it a fun and fair way to encourage everyone to contribute. It's like adding little elements of surprise and excitement to keep the ceremony lively.

Reflect with Wonder Words

Create a real-time word cloud showcasing what’s on the minds of graduates and attendees using Wonder Words. Ask your audience to type 'One word to describe your time in university' or 'Your proudest achievement in college.' As people submit their words, watch as the most popular ones grow bigger. It’s a visual way to capture collective sentiments and make people feel like they are part of something bigger. Plus, it’s super cool to see the crowd's feelings coming to life in bursts of color and words.
