Unique Zoom Meeting Ideas for Distributed Companies

Unique Zoom Meeting Ideas for Distributed Companies

Struggling to find unique zoom meeting ideas for your distributed company? When your employees are all over the place and you operate a distributed company, it can be difficult getting everyone together for company meetings. However, thanks to Zoom and other apps like it, it is easy to connect with all of your employees.

Yet, meetings can get boring when going over the same things each week. Sure, everyone wants to know how the business is doing, what new projects are in the works, and other such details about the business. But that doesn’t mean you can liven things up and have some fun too using these unique Zoom meeting ideas.

Idea #1: Book a live musical act.

You can surprise your employees with a surprise musical act at the end of the regular meeting. A live band or live singer is a great way to get your employees up and dancing. An alternative option is to host a karaoke party and have the band play the music while each employee takes a turn at singing their favourite songs.

Idea #2: Kick things off by getting everyone energized.

Energizers are an effective way to change things up and get away from the normal meeting routine. You could book a virtual magician to join your meeting to help get everyone involved while the magician provides an interactive show.

Idea #3: Lighten the mood with laughter.

You could hire a comedian to help lighten things up and get everyone laughing. You could have the comedian “roast” you and get your employees involved or do their regular comedy performance. This is a great idea to thank your hard-working employees, especially during these challenging times.

Idea #4: Host a virtual lunch or dinner party.

Hire a professional chef to prepare a special lunch or dinner while your employees follow along virtually from home. You do need to make sure to get shopping lists to your employees ahead of time so they can have all the ingredients they need to cook and prepare the meal. After the cooking is completed, then everyone can sit down and share a meal together.

Idea #5: Plan an after-work “happy hour.”

You could book a bartender and bartending workshop session where you and your employees can learn how to make a variety of drinks and then enjoy them! Just make sure everyone has a list of what alcohol and beverages they will need to participate ahead of time.

Idea #6: Book a digital artist.

The artist could draw a digital caricature of the employee, their pet, or their kids. You could set it up so everyone can watch while the artist works, or you could use the “Breakout Room” function in Zoom to allow employees one-on-one time with the digital artist.

Idea #7 VIRTUAL GAME SHOW

Engage your employees with an interactive virtual game show. Use well-known game show hosts and formats such as Family Feud and Jeopardy to pit teams against each other. Trivia questions can be customized to your event message or brand. With an award winning host our virtual game shows can be enjoyed with groups of up to 100. 

Idea #8 INTERACTIVE MAGIC

The great thing about virtual entertainment is that you are no longer limited to local acts. You can now have a well known vegas magic act perform an intimate show for your comapines Zoom meeting. Start off with a quick 15 minute magic performance followed by an interactive magic workshop where attendees can learn for tricks of their own!
