By grouping participants into teams and introducing a real-time leaderboard for questions, it keeps energy high throughout the session. As responses come in, teams are ranked by accuracy and the leaderboard updates every five seconds, allowing both participants and hosts to see performances unfold live. The completion indicator on each team also shows how many members have responded, helping hosts quickly spot engaged or lagging teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Live Poll - Teams\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Id2s9UM7xXw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, these elements make quizzes more interactive, easier to follow in real time, and more engaging for both hosts and participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1054679-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/static.questionpro.com\/userimages\/site_media\/LivePolls-teams-Mode---Og-1.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/static.questionpro.com\/userimages\/site_media\/LivePolls-teams-Mode---Og-1.mp4\">https:\/\/static.questionpro.com\/userimages\/site_media\/LivePolls-teams-Mode---Og-1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/help\/livepolls\/livepolls-team-leaderboards.html\">https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/help\/livepolls\/livepolls-team-leaderboards.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audience engagement requires a model of subtle collaboration and group competition &#8211; to keep folks engaged.
