How it works
Once you’ve connected the Range app to Zoom, you and your team can start using some of Range’s most valuable features before and during meetings. Here’s how it works.
Share your mood
When you join a Zoom meeting and open the Range app for Zoom, you may be prompted to reflect on your mood for the day. You will only see this prompt if you have not already shared your mood in Range by submitting a Check-in.
See how your team is doing
Once people join your meeting, the Range app will present you with the helpful sidebar below. Here, you’ll see all of the meeting attendees, get a quick glance at their moods, and also see if they’ve checked in for the day or not.
Add temporary guests to your meeting
Have an external (non-company employee) participant joining a meeting? Click Add temporary guest on the Roll call view of the Range app for Zoom and enter their name. This will ensure that they appear in the spinner, which is used in both the Icebreakers and Spinner app features.
Open your meeting with an icebreaker
When you’re ready to begin your meeting, the Icebreakers view in the app presents you and your team with both a random question and a spinner of all meeting attendees. There are over 300 questions you can shuffle through by clicking Shuffle question. A simple question, like “How was your weekend?” is a great way to get everyone engaged. It’s one of the small but powerful ways Range work to help you and your team build stronger connections and trust over time.
Once you have settled on a question for your team, click Spin on the spinner to give everyone a chance to answer the question.
Share a Check-in
One of the reasons the Range app for Zoom is so valuable to teams is because it allows you to review daily updates — Check-ins — from your team before standups and meetings. This allows you to spend more time discussing and moving work forward rather than sharing rote status updates, which ultimately makes meetings less engaging for all.
The format is just like a standup meeting. Range will ask what’s your plan for the day and what happened yesterday, and because Range integrates with many different workplace tools, you won’t have to worry about forgetting what you accomplished the day before.
If you have not published a Check-in before joining a meeting, the Range app for Zoom, when you click the Check-ins button in the app you will have the option to share one. If you have already shared your Check-in today, then you will see it here.
Under Teammate Check-ins you will be able to click to expand and view the Check-ins from your colleagues.
