d. Pre-Meeting Preparation

The StreamAlive Teams app allows you to prepare for your interactive sessions even before your meeting starts.

  • Pre-Meeting Engagement: Once the app is added, you can activate an interaction (e.g., a poll or word cloud) even before the meeting begins. This allows participants to engage with the content and provide input as they join the meeting, creating a more dynamic and interactive experience from the outset.

  • Access Session Reports: After your session ends, go to the "Analytics" tab to view detailed reports on audience engagement.

  • Analyze Data: Review key metrics such as interaction results, top commenters, and participation rates.
