The choice of workshop tools depends on the type of workshop you're willing to conduct with your team.

Synchronous workshops represent live sessions where everyone participates at the same time. For this type, you'll need:

• A videoconferencing tool like Google Meet, Skype, or Zoom
• A collaboration tool where participants can submit their thoughts and opinions — online whiteboards like Miro, Mural, or Stormboard or online design tools like Figma or Canva

At asynchronous workshops, participants contribute on their own when they have time. The facilitator should set a deadline for submissions and select a tool where people can submit their insights and observations. Participants can use:

• Online survey tools: Google Forms, Typeform, or SurveyMonkey
• Online whiteboards: Miro, Stormboard, or Mural
• Online design tools: Invision, Figma, or Sketch
• Online communication tools: Slack or Discord
• Any other online tool allowing people to represent their ideas: Google Draw or Google Slides

Engagement and virtual facilitation tools like Stormz, Butter, and Mentimeter allow for video conferences, whiteboards, and other engagement features in one place.^[1]
