Virtual Icebreakers and Team Building Ideas

One of the most challenging aspects of working remotely is a lack of face-to-face interactions.

Often we make up for this by participating in online video calls using remote meeting software such as Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams or Google Workspace.

Virtual icebreakers are a useful tool for meetings or training sessions to help your team get to know each other better as well as put them at ease. They also serve as excellent time-fillers while waiting for people to turn up for meetings. 

How virtual icebreakers can benefit your team:

• Introduce new teammates in a fun and engaging way
• Stimulate creativity and bring an element of fun and interactivity to team meetings
• Encourage people to learn more about one another
• Encourage a relaxed and positive atmosphere
• Improve communication and strengthen relationships
• Reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness
