30 Zoom Games for Team Building Activities
More companies are using Zoom to communicate than ever before. In fact, by the middle of 2020, Zoom users increased by over 4,700% compared to the year before. It’s a great platform to chat, collaborate, and work. But Zoom fatigue is a very real problem for many remote teams.
This is why Zoom activities are so important. They’re a fun way to let loose, boost engagement, and connect. And you can get in on it, too. Businesses use Zoom meeting games to:
- Reduce stress
- Build engagement
- Create bonds
- Foster creativity
- Develop problem-solving skills

30 Best Zoom Team Building Games to Play Online
Zoom games are fun ways to socialize, solve puzzles, and relax with colleagues online. Some popular options include icebreakers, trivia, puzzles, and Q&As. But there’s likely a Zoom equivalent of nearly any in-person game you can imagine. All you need to play is:
- Zoom
- Desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone
- Webcam and microphone
- A fun team!
The reason why so many companies choose Zoom over other platforms is that it comes with so many features. Breakout rooms, whiteboards, and screen sharing make games more engaging, and more authentic.
Plus, Zoom team building games effectively promote remote engagement. They sprinkle in the “spark” that is an in-person connection. And it gives us what we love so much about working in an office … meaningful relationships with human beings.
Let’s jump into the top 30 team building games on Zoom so you can get started today!
