Facilitator ToolsSharing options overview (pros and cons)
| TL;DR Pick the sharing method that fits the room: participant link for remote, QR code for in-person, embed for slides/websites, and Link to Meeting for Zoom. The table below summarizes when to use each. |
|---|
Each sharing method suits a different situation:
| Method | Best for | Pros | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Participant link | Remote / chat or email | Works on any device; easy to paste into chat | Long URLs; participants must click through |
| QR code | In-person / on a slide | Instant scan, no typing; great on a big screen | Needs a camera and line of sight to the screen |
| Embed (iframe) | Slides & web pages | Live content lives inside your deck or site | Requires an embed-capable surface; sizing to manage |
| Link to Meeting | Zoom calls | Participants interact inside the meeting app | Requires the meeting ID and the right platform |
Embedding offers two options: the Full Display Page (the whole live view) or Individual Activity Embeds (a single activity), so you can drop just one poll into a slide if you prefer.
| Ask the assistant • Which sharing method should I use for an in-person workshop? • What is the best way to share in a remote meeting? • Can I embed just one activity in a slide? • What are the downsides of QR codes? |
