Hey, session hosts! You know how important it is to keep your audience engaged during live sessions, right? Having everyone involved and excited makes a massive difference, not just for you, but for your attendees too. When your audience is engaged, they remember more of what you talked about, have more fun, and it's just a better experience all around. Let’s dive into how you can make your virtual meetings on Google Meet unforgettable using StreamAlive’s cool features!

Map Your Audience with Magic Maps

Magic Maps is a super fun way to visually see where everyone in your session is tuning in from. Imagine asking, 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' and watching the map fill up with colorful dots as your attendees type in their locations. It's an awesome icebreaker and gets everyone talking. Use it to connect people from the same city, or spot clusters of attendees from a region. You could even ask them to share their dream destinations to visit. It’s a great way to make your session feel a little bit extra personal and inclusive, right from the start.

Get Everyone's Thoughts with Opinion Polls

Opinion Polls can be a real game-changer when you want to capture everyone's ideas without limiting them to preset choices. Pose an open question like 'What’s one takeaway from today's session?' or 'What other topics should we cover in the future?' Then, watch as the chat starts filling up with answers. You're not only learning what your audience really thinks, but you're also making them feel heard and appreciated. Also, seeing other people's opinions flow in might spark new ideas or thoughts from others!

Energize Your Session with Power Polls

With Power Polls in StreamAlive, you can make your polls come alive in your Google Meet sessions. Ask your attendees to vote on things like 'Who's the best character in this movie?' or 'What feature should we explore next?' What's awesome is that everyone can see the results in real-time, which makes the polls more interactive and exciting. Keeping the excitement going with polls helps attendees stay focused and better retain the knowledge from your session.

Keep It Exciting with the Winner Wheel

The Winner Wheel is like adding a splash of fun to your session and encouraging more people to jump into the conversation. To keep everyone engaged, you can randomly select a winner from those who have commented or participated the most. If you ask your audience questions, incentivize them with a little spin—who doesn’t love a bit of mystery and excitement? You could say, 'Who commented the best idea?' or 'Who should win the coffee gift card?' It's a neat way to boost participation!

Capture Their Ideas with Wonder Words

Wonder Words, or word clouds, are perfect for those one or two-word answer questions. Ask something fun and engaging like, 'What's one word to describe your work from home setup?' or 'Name one skill you want to learn next.' As words start to flood the chat, they'll pop up on the word cloud, with popular answers standing out even more. It's a great visual representation of everyone’s input and makes people feel like they’re a part of something bigger, all while keeping the energy up in your session.
