Games for online meetings: how to make your events more exciting

Remote work is not a verdict of boredom!
Imagine: you are at another virtual meeting, where the only entertainment is to look at which of your colleagues has the most interesting background in Zoom. Sounds familiar? Let's figure out how to strengthen team spirit through virtual events!


Online team building is the key to effective meetings

1. Employee burnout
According to a study conducted in August 2023, almost half of the participants in online events experience “virtual burnout.” This is especially true for young professionals: 59% of Generation Z workers report fatigue from online meetings. Adding interactive games will help to dilute the routine and restore interest in teamwork.
2. Increased Engagement
Companies that introduce virtual team building activities note a 40% increase in employee engagement. And high involvement, in turn, contributes to increased productivity and reduced staff turnover.

Examples of the successful use of online games for team building

1. Zoom for online team building
The Zoom platform has become not only a means for video calls, but also a platform for virtual team building. Companies organize online events - quests - to rally remote teams and create an atmosphere of cooperation.
2. Games at HubSpot
HubSpot hosts virtual games for its remote employees, conducting various activities. This helps to strengthen team spirit and create an informal online environment.

Practical tips for implementing interactive online games

  • Consider the interests of the team: choose games that will be interesting to the majority of participants.
  • Create motivation: introduce competitive elements and rewards to increase engagement.
  • Do not forget about the time difference: consider the time zones and technical capabilities of the participants.
