Want some quick and easy icebreakers for Zoom meetings but don’t know how? AhaSlides is here to help you with our newest Zoom integration - which doesn’t take more than 5 minutes to set up and is completely FREE!

With dozens of interactive activities: quizzes, polls, spinner wheel, word cloud,…you can customise our app for any Zoom gatherings, small or large. Let’s jump right in to see how to set us up…

How to Use the AhaSlides Zoom Integration

Our baby lets you blend interactive slides with ease into your Zoom meetings. No more shuffling between apps - your viewers can vote, comment and discuss straight from their video call. Here's how:

Step 1: Log into your Zoom account, search for 'AhaSlides' in the 'Apps' section, and click 'Get'.

Step 2: Once installed, hosting is simple. Launch the app during your meeting and log into your AhaSlides account. Pick a deck, share your screen, and invite everyone to participate from within the call. They won't need separate login details or devices - just the Zoom app open on their end.

Step 3: Run your presentation normally and watch the responses roll in on your shared slideshow.

💡Not hosting but attending? There are many ways to attend an AhaSlides session on Zoom: 1 - By adding the AhaSlides app from the Zoom app marketplace. You will be inside AhaSlides automatically when the host starts their presentation (if that doesn't work, select 'Join as a Participant' and input the access code). 2 - By opening the invitation link when a host invites you.

What You Can Do with AhaSlides Zoom Integration

Icebreakers for Zoom meeting

A short, quick round of Zoom icebreakers will surely get everyone in the mood. Here are some ideas to organise it with AhaSlides Zoom integration:

#1. Two truths, one lie

Have participants share 3 short "facts" about themselves, 2 true and 1 false. Others vote on the lie.

💭 Here you need: AhaSlides' multiple-choice poll slide.

#2. Finish the sentence

Present an unfinished statement for people to complete in 1-2 words in real-time polls. Great for sharing perspectives.

💭 Here you need: AhaSlides' word cloud slide.

#3. Werewolves

The Werewolves game, also known as Mafia or Werewolf, is a super popular large-group game that excels in breaking the ice and makes meetings a whole lot better.

Game overview:

  • Players are secretly assigned roles: Werewolves (minority) and Villagers (majority).
  • The game alternates between the "night" and "day" phases.
  • Werewolves try to eliminate Villagers without being detected.
  • Villagers try to identify and eliminate Werewolves.
  • The game continues until either all Werewolves are eliminated (Villagers win) or Werewolves outnumber Villagers (Werewolves win).

💭 Here you need:

  • A moderator to run the game.
  • Zoom's private chat feature to assign roles to players.
  • AhaSlides' brainstorm slide. This slide lets everyone submit their ideas on who might be the werewolf and vote for the player they want to eliminate.
