Hey there! We all know that keeping your audience engaged during Google Meet sessions can be a game-changer. When your audience is actively involved, they're more likely to pay attention, retain information, and actually enjoy the session. Interactive sessions not only make meetings more fun and lively but can also boost knowledge retention significantly. So, if you've ever wondered how you can take your live sessions to the next level, you're in the right place.
Put Attendees on the Map with Magic Maps
Kick off your session by asking everyone where they're logging in from. It's like a virtual roll call, but way cooler! Magic Maps lets you see where your audience is located in real-time. Imagine asking, "Where's everyone joining from today?" and instantly seeing a map light up with their locations. You could even ask, "Which city holds a special memory for you?" or inspire some daydreaming with, "If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?" This not only gets everyone involved from the get-go but also helps folks feel connected, which is a great vibe to start any session.
Get the Real Views with Opinion Polls
Want deeper insights from your team? Opinion Polls gather those thoughts in the chat. Ask something open-ended like, "What skills do you think we need to add to our team?" or "Share one idea that could improve our monthly reviews." The responses you get here can spark discussions and provide valuable feedback for team improvement. Plus, seeing a sea of responses can be motivating and insightful for everyone involved.
Make It Count with Power Polls
Power Polls are your go-to for getting everyone’s opinion on-the-spot. Curious about your team's preferred working hours or need to take a quick brainstorming session vote? Set up a poll asking, "How many hours do you work best?" or "What’s the next project we should prioritize?" This gets people talking, sharing their ideas, and feeling valued. Plus, it’s super satisfying to see those live results rolling in – it keeps everyone glued to the screen and adds a level of interaction that’s both instant and impactful.
Spin Up Some Fun with the Winner Wheel
Got a few silent spectators in your session? Bring them into the conversation with the Winner Wheel. It’s perfect for awarding bonuses or picking participants for spontaneous contributions. Imagine this: you've just wrapped up a section and want to reward active participants. You can spin the wheel to select a random contributor who might get a little prize or just the thrill of being the 'lucky one.' Or maybe when it’s Q&A time, and everyone’s a bit shy, spin that wheel to choose who goes next or who gets a special role in the discussion. It’s like mixing in a little game show excitement to keep everyone on their toes!

Plus, seeing their own words pop up in a live visual is pretty thrilling for your attendees too!
