I just want to thank everyone for these great ideas! Many are things I already do (always nice to hear when you're on the right track), but some were brand new to me (and I'm excited to give them a try). Really appreciate everyone chiming in!

Great topic and I love the ideas. I also try to speak before the meeting 1:1 with the people I know are less likely to be comfortable speaking up in the larger group. Then I can call on them in the meeting by saying 'Janine, you mentioned something important to me when we spoke yesterday. Would you mind repeating it for the group?' That smooths the way for them, and it's a simple means of advocacy.

This is a good question and shows you as an inclusive leader. I suggest allowing as much time as possible, days ahead of the meeting, for participants to gather their thoughts and prepare them. Maybe send out an agenda. For example, Some are introverted and like to prepare before speaking up and they have Amazing ideas! My suggestion is focus on what others needs and their strengths in order to get the most from them.

I completely agree with using the "raise hand" feature. The meeting facilitator can see who wants to jump in and can call on people, just like being back in school :-) Also, I recommend well-timed pauses. Not endless, but giving folks a moment to digest what was just said can help. Humans tend to dislike silence in conversation, and it's likely someone will jump in to fill the void. If not, you're assured everyone has had their say and you can move on.

I am more introverted and almost always put my ideas in the chat stream. I also will frequently ping a more extroverted person in the call and ask them if they could +1 my comment or maybe say it out loud for me.

A lot of the best ideas come from more quiet people not comfortable in the traditional brain storming forum. I like a technique called "Brain Writing" which is basically you give everyone the opportunity to prep before and write down their thought starters. You can collect all the ideas this way and the more vocal people can share theirs and others can build upon them. This way everyone has a chance to be included and trust me there will be some gems in what is submitted.

The last time I needed to ensure everyone had a voice, I actually shared material in advance and asked everyone to come with one idea or suggestion on the topic, explaining that everyone would be expected to say something. That way, nobody was surprised and people had a chance to prepare . It took longer but ensured everyone had air time (it was 12 people over a long session so I can see that at a certain size group, it becomes trickier).

My team and I share a OneNote and we all post our topics we want to discuss. We can also start separate threads if some ideas don't get discussed in that meeting.

One strategy I use is to ask a question, but say I want to hear from someone who has not yet spoken. Depending on the context, if I can see someone is engaged, but hasn't spoken, I will check-in and see how they're feeling about the discussion (if I know they're an introvert, I try to check-in privately)

Lots of great ideas here. I vote for: prep in advance assignments! Give out topics/questions/idea starters for each group and ask that they nominate a speaker to discuss when their turn. Once someone has actually spoken on the video call, it appears to become much easier for them to speak again with questions or comments when it's someone else's turn.
