How do I run a quiz in a team meeting?

To run a quiz in a team meeting, keep it to five minutes and three to five questions, and run it at the start to warm the call up or at the end as a recap. In QG Playground, pick a ready-made round from the quiz library or ask Granny, the built-in AI, to write one about your team, your product or this week's news. Press Go live, then share the browser window that shows the presenter view, using the screen-share button in Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. Everyone joins at qgplay.live on their phone, or in a second browser tab, with the room code, so nobody leaves the call. The questions, the timer and the leaderboard appear in your shared screen, and each phone shows that person's own answer and points. The Free plan covers meetings of up to 20 people, and Pro covers 100.

Three five-minute formats

Pick one slot and keep it. A quiz that turns up every week becomes part of the meeting.

Warm-up

Start of the call
Three questions on anything: the news, the office, a bit of trivia. Everyone is awake before the first agenda item.

Recap

After a decision
Three questions on what was just decided, or on last week's update, so everyone leaves with the same version.

Friday round

End of the week
Five questions and a leaderboard. Keep the scores from week to week if the team likes a running rivalry.

Run a quiz on Zoom

  1. Press Go live in your browser to open the presenter view.
  2. Click Share screen and pick that browser window, not the whole screen, so your notifications stay private.
  3. Put the room code in the Zoom chat.
  4. People join at qgplay.live on their phones, and you press Next for each question.

Everyone sees the questions and the leaderboard in your shared window, and answers on their own phone.

Run a quiz in Microsoft Teams

  1. Press Go live in your browser.
  2. Open the share tray in the meeting and share that window.
  3. Paste the room code in the meeting chat.
  4. People join at qgplay.live on their phones and play.

In a meeting room with a Teams Room display, project the presenter view on that screen, and remote people join the same code from home.

Run a quiz in Google Meet

  1. Press Go live in your browser.
  2. Click Present now and present the window, or just the tab, with the presenter view.
  3. Drop the room code in the chat.
  4. People join at qgplay.live on their phones and play.

The flow is the same as on any other call: one shared window, and a phone in every hand.

When half the team is in the room

Project the presenter view on the meeting-room screen and share the same window on the call. One room code covers everyone, wherever they are, so the people in the room and the people at home race on the same leaderboard. Nobody needs a second link, and nobody has to repeat the question for the call.

Why not use the call's built-in poll?

Built-in polls in video-call tools work well for a single vote, and they are the right choice for a quick yes or no. A quiz adds a timer, speed points, a leaderboard and a report afterwards, so it suits a recurring meeting slot where people come back to the scores each week. Use the built-in poll for decisions, and the quiz for the five minutes of play.

Where the questions come from

Pick a round from the quiz library: office and teams, icebreaker questions for meetings or general knowledge. Or ask Granny for three questions from a one-line description of your team or this week's launch, or type your own in a couple of minutes. Players need nothing installed; see how players join.

Questions people ask

Can't find it? The help centre has step-by-step answers.

Do people need to leave the call to play?
No. They answer on their phone, or in a second browser tab on the same laptop, while the call stays open.
Do players need an app or an account?
No. They open qgplay.live, type the room code and pick a nickname.
How long should a meeting quiz be?
Three to five questions, about five minutes. Keep longer quizzes for a team event; see team building quiz games.
Can we play as teams?
Yes. Each team answers on one device and uses the team name as its nickname.
Can I reuse the same quiz every week?
Yes. Re-run any quiz from My quizzes, or keep a weekly round and swap a few questions each time.
Is it free?
The Free plan hosts up to 20 players a session, which covers most team meetings. Pro hosts 100.
