Brainstorm is a two-step live slide: first everyone submits ideas from their phone, then the whole room votes on the ones that stand out. It solves the classic workshop problem (the loudest voice wins) by giving every participant equal airtime up front and letting the group prioritise what matters most.
How Brainstorm works
Brainstorm runs in two phases from a single slide, no extra prep or spreadsheet required:
- Ask a prompt like "How could we improve onboarding?" and set a submission timer.
- Every audience member types ideas from their phone; ideas appear live on the big screen.
- When submissions close, the same audience votes on which ideas resonate most.
- The top-voted ideas rise to the top, ready to feed the next discussion or decision.
Best for
Brainstorm turns any room into a structured ideation session without breakout rooms or sticky notes:
- Teachers: classroom idea generation on essay topics, project pitches, or debate positions.
- Facilitators & trainers: workshop ideation phases and retrospective "start / stop / continue" rounds.
- HR & team leads: quarterly planning input from every team member, not just the vocal ones.
- Product managers: customer feedback sessions and internal feature-prioritisation huddles.
Why teams love Brainstorm
Teams use Brainstorm instead of a whiteboard because it captures every voice AND the group opinion in one go:
- Two phases in one slide: no context-switch between "collect ideas" and "prioritise ideas".
- Equal airtime: introverts and remote attendees contribute as much as the loudest person in the room.
- Live vote surfaces the winners: no post-workshop cleanup deciding which idea "everyone liked".
- Every submission stays visible: nothing gets lost when the room moves on.
Free to run, live in seconds, and the fastest way to turn a room full of ideas into a ranked shortlist.
