Event Q&A

Providing question and answering (Q&A) at your virtual events is important to engage your audience and ensure they are learning from your presenters and walking away with a valuable understanding of the programming. 

Event Q&A can be enabled in meeting or livestream events and can be general Q&A where questions are visible to all attendees, or moderated Q&A where chat moderators, hosts or event collaborators approve questions to be visible to other attendees, and answered in the event. 

General Q&A vs. Moderated Q&A

General Q&A creates a Q&A tab in the chat box for attendees to submit questions to presenters - all questions are visible to all upon submission.

Moderated Q&A puts the visibility controls of questions into the hands of chat moderators, hosts, or event collaborators. With moderated Q&A enabled, questions are not visible to any attendees unless they have been approved by the chat moderators, hosts, or event collaborators.

User Experience

If enabled, Q&A will populate a second tab in the chat section of the event titled ‘Q&A’. From that tab, attendees can ask questions that will appear in the Q&A and chat thread.

Ask a question

Attendees navigate to the Q&A tab, select ‘Ask a Question’, type in their question, and hit “Ask” to have their question appear to the crowd, or to the moderator to approve.

Delete a question

Attendees can delete their questions at any time by selecting the trash icon beside their questions. 

Voting

Attendees can select the thumbs-up icon to vote for questions they support and the platform will show chat moderators, hosts, or event collaborators the most popular questions.
