How about some magic tricks?

Visual aids. When I introduce new vocabulary, I sometimes have pictures that go along with the words. Other times, when I'm just having a casual conversation and the student doesn't know something I just said, I look up the image and show it to the student straight from Google. It's fun and tends to get the conversation going.

Typing things out. When I'm doing a speaking lesson, I like to share my screen and type out the student's errors, whether they're errors in grammar or pronunciation. When the student finishes their thought/sentence, I give them a chance to correct themselves. It's a more student-centered and less disruptive approach to correcting.

I also like to get the student to do things, such as sharing their screen and typing things out, especially if we're working on spelling and such.

For Arabic script, I like to use GIFs that I've created to show how letters are formed. I also use a drawing tool.

I think participation is the only part that may excite the students and the teacher in an online class by which both sides can spontaneously share interesting stories and activities with each other. In order to improve the interaction with the students, teachers have to know what the student need most and give all possible aids to the student that include visual and audio.  As for applications or some tips, these are only tools to have students and teachers more involved and excited in the learning course.
