Step 1: Open with a Poll
Ask a low-stakes question in the first minute to signal this is not a passive broadcast.
Step 2: Alternate Content and Interaction
Never go more than four minutes without a poll, Q&A prompt, or word cloud.
Step 3: Use a Visible Countdown for Breaks
Show break timers so attendees know exactly when to return.
Step 4: End with a Commitment Poll
Ask attendees to select one action they will take — accountability boosts follow-through.
