Allow scrolling/review of all stacked Talking Tiles in Zoom App

I want to be able to scroll back and review all stacked Talking Tiles that have been pushed off the screen during a live session in the Zoom app. The typical setup is that participants write their own tiles and read tiles of others. Only after completion of all tiles is there time for the host to review them, but currently, there is no way to scroll back to the tiles from the beginning of the chat.

I’d love to see Canva integration added to StreamAlive.

As a teacher, I’ve noticed that more and more educators are moving their presentations and lessons to Canva. Canva has become a major platform in education, and its user base continues to grow rapidly among teachers and presenters. Adding StreamAlive support for Canva would be a game changer for classroom engagement. Currently, educators often have to rely on PowerPoint or separate tools like Mentimeter to create interactive experiences. While these tools can work, they often add extra complexity for both teachers and students. One of Canva’s biggest strengths is its simplicity. Teachers can simply share a link and students can join immediately, making it much easier to run lessons and presentations. Integrating StreamAlive directly with Canva would allow educators to bring polls, interactions, and engagement activities into a platform they already use every day. Another exciting opportunity would be for StreamAlive to expand further into the student engagement space and potentially serve as an alternative to tools like Kahoot. Kahoot remains one of the most widely used platforms for classroom participation and gamified learning. If StreamAlive could bring similar interactive learning experiences directly into presentations, especially within Canva, it would provide educators with a powerful all-in-one solution for both teaching and student engagement. Given Canva’s strong focus on education and its growing adoption worldwide, I believe this is a valuable market opportunity for StreamAlive. It would be fantastic to see StreamAlive available within the Canva ecosystem and help make classes and presentations even more engaging.

Power Poll text alignment issue in Safari on macOS

I want the text in my Power Polls to be correctly aligned inside the bars. Currently, on Safari (MacBook Air), the text is sitting in a weird spot between the bars instead of inside them. I've tried changing fonts but it doesn't help. This is important so my presentation looks professional and is easy to read.

Did you know about secondary interactions?

Did you know that StreamAlive allows you to do secondary interactions as a follow-on from your original interaction? When your cursor moves to the top left of your screen a menu option will appear called “Create from responses” When you click on that you’ll be given options to create a follow-on from the interaction. For example, you could run a winning wheel from everyone who participated in the interaction. Participants are automatically added to the wheel. Did you know that this feature existed?

Do you start your virtual sessions on time or...

I’m curious, if your virtual session starts at 2pm do you start your live session at exactly 2pm and let people into your room only then, or do you start your session earlier and welcome people into the room and engage with them before the 2pm start time?

Why is it soooo expensive? I'd like to use it, and even pay for it as a high school teacher....but $50 per month for only 10 sessions? I need to use daily!

Winning Wheel with PDF Slides In Between

I am preparing a presentation that will use the wheel to randomly select participants who text a key word to introduce themselves. The activity will be repeated several times, with slides being shown in between. Is it better to duplicate the original wheel and use it each time, or set up a new one for each time with a different keyword each time?

Pay per event options?

We’re curious if you would be interested in paying for a block of events upfront instead of taking a monthly or annual plan. For example, if we said take 3 events to be run in the next 6 months. Or take 6 events to be run in the next 12 months. What do you think about this kind of plan?

PowerPoint add-in isn't working during a live session on Teams

I’ve been using StreamAlive for a week and am still learning the ropes. However, the biggest issue is that we bought the tool for a training session with a large audience—around 200 users on Teams—using the PowerPoint add-in, and it isn't picking up anything. Even though people are commenting and the bot joins the Teams session normally, nothing else happens: it doesn't display questions in the chat, doesn't read comments, and doesn't save the questions asked during the session. Yet, this doesn't happen with small groups of 3 to 5 attendees. How can we fix this?
