Getting attendees engaged in the chat box on Crowdcast is key to creating an interactive and lively event. Here are some tips to encourage participation:
1. Start with a Simple Icebreaker
Ask attendees: “Where are you joining from?”
Follow up by responding to locations or calling out interesting places.
2. Use Fun & Relatable Questions
“What’s in your cup—coffee, tea, or something stronger?”
“Drop an emoji that describes how you’re feeling today!”
“If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?”
3. Encourage GIFs & Emojis
Crowdcast allows emojis, so invite attendees to react with them.
4. Create a Poll or Quick “This or That” Game
“Team night owl 🦉 or early bird 🐦?”
“Mac or PC?”
“Would you rather time travel to the past or future?”
5. Ask About Their Experience with the Topic
“On a scale from 1-10, how much do you know about [event topic]?”
“What’s the biggest challenge you face with [topic]?”
6. Acknowledge & Highlight Responses
Read out answers live to make people feel heard.
Mention attendees by name when responding.
7. Incorporate a Giveaway or Incentive
“First 3 people to answer correctly get a shoutout!”
“We’ll pick one random commenter to win [small prize]!”
8. Call for Reactions During Key Moments
“Give me a 🔥 if that resonated with you!”
“Drop a 🙌 if you’ve ever experienced this!”
9. Use Fill-in-the-Blank Prompts
“The best advice I ever got was __________.”
“One word to describe how I feel about [topic] is __________.”
10. Encourage Questions & Peer Interaction
Invite attendees to post their questions in the Q&A box.
Encourage them to reply to each other’s comments.
