Is Teamtag suitable for remote teams?
Teamtag suitable
Teamtag allows teams to categorize people by attributes like role, project, skill, training or location. You can then use tags in chat to quickly reach groups of people without having to type everyone’s names. When you tag someone, they receive a notification whenever you @mention them in any channel. You can also use a tag in a video call to easily access the person’s screen share.
Creating the right mix of personalities and working styles on remote Teamtag can be challenging. One great way to help your team members understand their unique strengths, preferences and styles is by using a personality assessment tool like DiSC or Myers-Briggs. Having a common language for discussing and talking about these characteristics helps build awareness on the team, resulting in better collaboration.
It’s important for remote teams to build trust and cohesiveness through the sharing of personal stories. A great way to do this is through virtual bonding activities that get to the heart of who a person is. Asking open-ended questions such as “What is your greatest strength?” or “If you could eat any food for the rest of your life, what would it be?” can be a great place to start.

Another great option is to incorporate team building activities that promote positive body language. For example, a simple game such as virtual tag can be an engaging way to bring high energy into an online meeting. To play, set up Zoom breakout rooms and assign participants to the ones they want to play in. Then assign a member to be “it”. They’ll have to enter a breakout room, count to ten and then say someone’s name to make them “it”. Each time someone gets tagged, they’ll need to come back to the original breakout room so that all team members can join.
If you’re looking for more in-depth, meaningful conversations and team building, try a deep dive question such as “What are your biggest goals, dreams or needs in the next year?” or “If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?” These types of questions are great to break down silos on a team, encourage vulnerability, and foster open discussions that can lead to collaborative solutions.
As an added bonus, Teamtag can automatically pin a new collaborative tag to the article bar in the web application, making it easy for everyone on the team to see and find the most relevant information. You can also enable this feature for individual users by visiting the tag dashboard and selecting the “Pin this team tag to article bar” switch.
