1. Start with one easy question
Open with a low-stakes word cloud ("How is your week going, in one word?") so everyone joins before the important questions.
2. Ask questions you will act on
"Which topic should we spend the most time on?" (multiple choice) or "How clear are our priorities?" (rating 1–5) give you something to do with the answer. Avoid polls that only fill time.
3. Show results, then talk about them
Hide results while voting (press H) so early votes do not sway others, then reveal and discuss. Lock voting (L) when you move on.
4. End with Q&A
Leave five minutes for upvoted questions. With moderation on, a colleague can screen them while you talk.
Template
The Team meeting template includes a mood word cloud, a topic vote, a priorities rating and a Q&A slide.
