Online team events for distributed and hybrid teams

Virtual team events are an option in their own right for teams that regularly work at different locations or can’t travel to meet in person. Unlike an ordinary video call, a hosted activity takes centre stage, and every participant is involved at the same time.

Depending on the activity, your team solves puzzles, plays games, cooks, enjoys tastings or gets creative together. For suitable activities, the materials you need can be sent out beforehand in an event box. If your team is meeting in one place, visit our general events page for more team event ideas.

When planning, consider participant numbers, locations, time zones, your preferred platform, language and delivery lead times. A quick tech check and clear access details reduce avoidable hurdles on the day.

These are the six activities teams choose most often at teamio for virtual occasions. They differ in whether your team puzzles, quizzes, tastes or crafts together.

What a good virtual team event needs

Discover events

Bringing colleagues together across locations

Colleagues join the same hosted experience from different places.

More than a video call

With clear tasks, a host to guide them and opportunities to interact, participants don’t just watch – they get stuck in together.

Getting the tech ready

Before the event, we agree which platform and devices to use, how everyone will join and whether a tech check is needed.

Arranging delivery of materials

For activities with event boxes, addresses, countries and shipping deadlines are sorted out in good time. Which regions we can ship to depends on the specific activity.

Planning an online event where everyone is involved?

Tell us the number of participants, locations, date, language and the activity you have in mind. We’ll check the platform, the schedule and, where needed, the shipping lead time.

Frequently asked questions about virtual team events

Answers about online activities, technology, platforms, event boxes and taking part from several locations.

What ideas are there for virtual team events?

Options include online quiz shows, virtual escape games, creative challenges to tackle together, and cooking or tasting experiences. What suits you depends on group size, duration, language and how much interaction you’d like.

How is an online team event different from a video meeting?

At an online team event, a host guides everyone through a shared activity with clear tasks and ways to join in. The session is designed as an experience, not an ordinary meeting.

What technology do participants need?

As a rule, you’ll need a computer or a suitable mobile device, a stable internet connection, a camera, a microphone and a way to hear the audio. You’ll receive the exact requirements for the activity you choose.

Which platforms do virtual events work with?

Many activities can run on common video conferencing tools. We’ll check beforehand whether your preferred platform is suitable and which features are needed.

What group sizes are online team events suitable for?

The right group size depends on the activity and the level of interaction you want. Larger groups may need to split into teams, use breakout rooms or have the host adapt how they run the session.

How do event boxes work?

For suitable activities, participants receive the materials they need before the event. Delivery addresses, destination countries, privacy arrangements and order deadlines must therefore be agreed in good time.

Can international or multilingual teams take part?

Many virtual activities are, in principle, suitable for teams across several locations and time zones. However, the language, hosting arrangements, delivery destinations and event date must be checked for the specific activity.

How long does a virtual team event last?

The duration varies with the activity and group size. On top of the programme itself, allow time for a brief introduction to the technology so that everyone can start with confidence.
