We work with the Standuply Teams scrum bot on a regular basis. In my experience regular asynchronous standups may turn into status updates and team may feel the monotony. So we combine async/face-to-face formats but still with a Standuply bot. We set up this bot so that it collects an agenda before a meeting, and then sends everyone a link to this meeting, which is also held through scrum bot and at this face-to-face meeting, all team members can see the prepared agenda on their screens and talk on topic. At offline meetings, we sometimes run the Standuply automation of a Planning Poker or demonstrate graphs and analytics collected from task trackers. That fills live meetings with visual point.

The process of integrating with zoom was a little tedious for me, but otherwise the app is really easy to use and saved me tons of time. You simply share a link with colleagues and they can pick a meeting date and time based on your up to date availability.

Trivia is an engaging app that brings real-time gaming fun directly into Slack and Microsoft Teams. Perfect for virtual team building, it offers a variety of quizzes, puzzles, polls, and challenges. It's a fantastic way to bond with colleagues while exercising your brainpower together
