Games for a Zoom or Teams Call

Last updated

One person opens the game and shares its screen in Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Most games are played together aloud; Pictionary remote rooms let guests join from their own devices using the room invite. Opening a game page without a room invite starts a separate round, not a joined match.

Pick games where the shared screen is meant for everyone to see. Secret-role games are a poor fit for screen sharing because private cards may be exposed.

3 for this setting

Would You Rather?

Any number who can join the call · About 6–10 minutes

Use Group Voting as a quick warm-up. Ask people to explain a choice aloud; the app's vote is on the host's screen, not a remote-device poll.

Chain Story Chaos

3–8 active contributors · 10–15 minutes

Take turns suggesting one sentence aloud while the host enters it. Read the finished story together and vote on a favourite moment.

Pictionary

2–30 in remote room; 2–12 pass-and-play · About 15 minutes for one turn each

Create a remote room and invite up to 30 participants by code; players draw or guess on their phones while the host shares the board. Or play pass-and-play and call out guesses.

Leave these for another setting

Mafia

The host would need to hide private roles and manage night turns while also screen-sharing; the shared screen can spoil the deal.

Impostor

The secret word appears on the shared device, so other call participants may see it before their turn.

The Lying Game

The liar's private information can be visible to everyone on the call.

Guess The Flag

The short timer can be stressful with call lag. Choose it only if one person is happy to answer on the shared device.

A 20-minute call break

Use three Would You Rather cards as a warm-up, play one Chain Story round, then finish with a few Pictionary turns. The host shares one screen; keep the meeting's own chat or reactions open for discussion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most games run on one host device; Pictionary remote rooms and Quiz Together let guests join on their own devices. For Pictionary, share the host board and send the invite link or code; opening the page without that room invite starts a separate game.
No. There is no meeting plug-in, in-game audio, or shared lobby. Use the call's existing screen share, microphone, and chat.
