The StreamAlive app for Zoom lives in Zoom’s Apps panel. StreamAlive joins the meeting by itself, so there’s no link to copy, no bot to admit, and no browser tab to hunt for when you share.

A drawing of a Zoom meeting, “Team offsite planning”. The presenter clicks Apps in the Zoom toolbar, picks StreamAlive under My Apps, chooses the presentation “Offsite planning” and clicks Present, then Share App Screen. The poll “Where should we hold the offsite?” fills the shared screen, and as people type in the Zoom chat their answers appear on it.

The StreamAlive app for Zoom, or the meeting link?

Both put the same interactions in the same Zoom chat. The difference is how StreamAlive gets into your meeting, and where you start.

Before StreamAlive, we were using other well-known QR-based interaction tools. About 60 – 70% of people would follow a QR code. Now that all they have to do is type in the chat, we see more like 90 – 95% of participants engaging.
