Pass the Mic Slide

Give participants a chance to speak

What it is

A slide that simply shows a randomized selection of participant avatars, one by one.

This is an opportunity to let each designated person speak. They do this either by unmuting and speaking to the group through your video call (eg. on Zoom or Meet), or simply by standing up in the room you're in and speaking. (The slide doesn't specifically enable them audio or textual speaking ability, it just selects which player has the floor, to speak in person or through video call.)

Use it for

A conference "call on a random audience member" activity, a Zoom "introduce yourself" participation activity, an "ask an icebreaker question and go around the room" activity. Great for organizing larger groups when you want to hear from individual people without talking over each other or having them wonder "is it my turn?"


How it Works

This slide has multiple steps. Each step will display one by one as you advance the slide during your presentation.

Step 1: Your prompt text or question will display.

Step 2: The first avatar will display, and when you advance, the next avatar, all the way through whatever number of participants your set the slide to scroll through, in the builder (see "settings" below).

Details:

Ordering: The slide will randomly select a set number of participants to display, one by one, as you advance the slide.

Who is shown: If you have multiple Pass the Mic slides in your deck, they will display players who have not been displayed yet, where possible (so, If you go through players X, Y, Z, on the first PtM slide, the next PtM slide will go through players A, B, C).

Settings

You can select the number of participants scrolled through by setting the number on the slide in the builder. If you'd like to scroll through everyone, regardless of how many players have joined, enter 0. This will display all joined avatars one by one.
