FAQs:
Will Unpopular Opinion run if I do not have the latest version of Zoom?
To enjoy a smooth and unrestricted experience, we recommend using the latest version of Zoom.
I don’t see the Apps tab in the toolbar, what do I do?
Update to the most recent version of Zoom at https://zoom.us/download
Make sure your Zoom Account Admin has enabled Zoom Apps in the account settings.
My game is loading slowly. What should I do?
The rate at which the application loads varies with your connection speed. Try disconnecting other devices from the same network.
How long is each game round?
There is no timer for each round, participants can choose when to post the next Opinion at their convenience.
What happens if I join the meeting after the game has started?
You can join the game anytime and your game will resume from the current question going on. You can also leave the meeting, join back and continue playing!
@abhash_kumar2 If you're looking for the perfect polarizing question, I've got it: Were Ross and Rachel on a break? 🤔 I vote "Yes," but I know that's an Unpopular Opinion 😉
All joking aside, this is a really fun concept. Quick question: Are you able to create your own polls? From a business sense, I think it would be fun to customize the questions. You could start off with a few fun ones to get people engaged and use them as an icebreaker before taking a team vote on something work-related. Just a thought!
@abhash_kumar2 @matthew_ritchie Hilarious, Matt! I think we'd get some pretty contentious responses if that was an icebreaker.
great stuff @abhash_kumar2 👏🔥
really great way to make Zoom polls more engaging and fun!
Excited to enter the Zoom Apps ecosystem with Unpopular Opinions. We've already seen over 30,000 companies enjoy the benefits of Trivia on their Slack & Microsoft Teams, and seeing Zoom grow, I look forward to helping remote & virtual teams build bonds at work!
@sandeeptalukdar Hey, really like the concept here - do you plan on integrating the product into other platforms in the future?
@josh_walker2 thanks, Josh! What platforms are you thinking of? We are on Slack, Teams and Web
@sandeeptalukdar This is an incredible idea! There's always that awkward tension right before a Zoom meeting. This is the perfect way to break the ice and increase engagement. Looking forward to using this product. Congrats on the launch!
@sandeeptalukdar oh, cool! I was thinking smaller platforms - I'm helping to launch a new online events platform called Tevent in a few weeks!
This is fun, I was always the person injecting some fun into our meetings at my last place and it got a bit exhausting - so important for team building though. Congrats on the launch
It's always cool to see the new products that @abhash_kumar2 and team are launching. I really love the idea of polls (using on slack) and now i see the fun way to try them on Zoom!
I can see this causing some friction. Great work though- it can definitely help me get to know the people I meet better immediately!
Now we got something to have fun with our colleague on end of friday, good work team!
@abhash_kumar2 Congratulations on the launch! I will surely give this a try. Great work and all the best :)
