Starting Q&A

Hosts can hover over the Q&A widget in the Host Controls panel to reveal a Start button.

Upon clicking Start, a confirmation dialog box will popup to ensure the host is ready to enable Q&A for everyone in the session/room.

Once Q&A starts, everyone in the room/session will see a new button in their bottom toolbar.

 

Configuring permissions

Hosts can configure permissions in the Q&A panel. They can configure the following:

  • Toggle whether to accept new questions from attendees
  • Toggle whether anonymous questions are allowed by attendees
  • Toggle whether questions are automatically displayed in the chat panel
  • Clear all questions

 

Managing questions

Hosts can see all submitted questions in the Q&A panel. They can take the following actions:

  • Choose to show all questions, only answered questions, or only unanswered questions
  • Sort by newest questions, oldest questions, or most popular questions (i.e. most upvoted questions)
  • Mark questions as answered (there will be a label shown next to this question for everyone)
  • Highlight a message on stage (and remove it)
  • Delete a message

 

Stopping Q&A

Hosts can hover over the Q&A widget in the Host Controls panel to reveal a Stop button. Upon clicking the button, the Q&A button in the bottom toolbar will be removed for everyone.
