Other tools send reps a link, wait for them to open it and chase the ones who didn’t, while their inboxes pull them away. With StreamAlive, they type in the chat.

In a Teams or Zoom meeting, “Type in the chat.” is sent in the chat and appears in the poll on the shared screen, which asks “How do you answer in this poll?” Everyone else’s answers follow.

Reps are already on the call and already in the chat, so there is nothing to open and nothing to chase. The quiz runs on the screen you’re sharing, and the whole team watches the scores climb.

We used to tell people to put their phones away so they wouldn’t be distracted, then later ask them to pull them out again to scan a QR code. That never sat right with us. StreamAlive removed that contradiction completely.

How to run a sales poll in a Teams or Zoom session.

  1. You let StreamAlive into your call and share your screen.
  2. Your reps type their answers in the meeting chat. That’s all they do.
  3. StreamAlive counts every answer and puts the results on your screen.

  1. Paste your Teams or Zoom meeting link into StreamAlive and press Connect. It waits in the lobby like a note-taking app. Admit it once and it starts reading the chat.

  2. Share your screen and pick the StreamAlive window, the same way you share slides. Or present the question from your PowerPoint deck.

    This is the step people miss. Your audience can only answer a question they can see.

  3. Everyone sees your question the moment you share. It’s a slide in your StreamAlive presentation, set up beforehand.

  4. They type their answer in the meeting chat: a number, a letter or a few words. No link, no app, no phone.

  5. Every answer lands on your shared screen as it’s sent. A quiz scores each rep and ranks them on a leaderboard.

  6. After the session, the report shows how many people took part, how much more they typed during your interactions, and who was most active.

Which objection do you hear most? Type 1, 2, 3 or 4 in the chat

  1. Too expensive 31%
  2. Happy with current vendor 31%
  3. Bad timing 19%
  4. Needs approval 19%

Illustration of the six steps. The presenter pastes the meeting link into StreamAlive and presses Connect. StreamAlive waits in the meeting lobby and is admitted, then posts in the chat that it is reading the chat. The presenter presses Share and picks the StreamAlive window, a poll appears on the shared screen, and answers typed in the chat fill the poll bars as they arrive. After the session, the report shows who took part and how each question landed, and an AI assistant can answer questions about it.

Make product knowledge a competition.

Run a few timed rounds in a row. The faster a rep types the right answer, the more points they score, and the leaderboard after each round gives them a reason to pay attention.

Three more ways to get a sales team involved.

Use them to open a kickoff, hear what reps hear from customers, or take the team’s pulse.

  1. What reps are hearing

    Ask reps to sum up what buyers say. The words that come up most grow biggest, so patterns show at a glance.

  2. Where your accounts are

    Put the team’s territory on a map. Reps type a city or country in the chat and a pin drops, a good opener for a call with several offices.

Sales and training teams who moved to the chat.

  • The fact that StreamAlive’s interactions are powered by the chat is huge for us. There’s no second screen, no apps, no QR codes. People stay focused on the session instead of figuring out the tech.

  • If StreamAlive disappeared tomorrow, we’d be straight back to QR codes and the anxiety and nerves of our audiences saying they can’t access the tool or IT telling us that it’s blocked.

Questions about StreamAlive for sales training

How do I run a sales quiz in Zoom or Teams?

Build the quiz in StreamAlive, connect it to your meeting with the meeting link or the StreamAlive app for Zoom, and share the StreamAlive window. Reps type 1 to 4 in the meeting chat before the timer runs out.

Can reps compete against each other?

Yes. A quiz scores every answer, with right answers worth up to 1,000 points depending on how quickly they’re typed, and a leaderboard shows who’s ahead. Points add up across the quizzes in your session.

Will reps be on their phones?

They don’t need to be. Reps answer in the meeting chat on the call they’re already on, so there’s no second screen to open and no code to scan.

Can I use it for product launches and new messaging?

Yes. Ask reps what they’re hearing from customers with a word cloud or a poll, rate how ready they feel with a rating poll, and check the new messaging has landed with a quiz.

What does the report show?

An overview with an engagement lift (how much more your reps typed during your interactions than between them), a chart of the chat minute by minute, replays of every result and a ranked list of the most active reps. You can download it or email it.

Can I use it with PowerPoint?

Yes. Add the StreamAlive add-in, put a question on a slide and present in Slide Show. With Canva and Gamma, embed StreamAlive Slides in your presentation. For other presentation surfaces, upload them as a PDF to StreamAlive’s presentation builder, or share the StreamAlive window when it’s time to ask.

Does it work for on-demand sales training?

No. StreamAlive is for live sessions, where reps answer at the same moment and see the team’s answers together.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Sessions with up to five participants are free, with every interaction included and no card needed. Paid plans start at $100 for a pack of 4 sessions, and Pro is $75 a month, billed annually.
