Q&A

All Hosts, Presenters, and Attendees can submit a question through the Q&A tab anytime before or during the event.

All users can upvote a question if they are also interested in the answer. Those questions with the most upvotes will move to the top of the list of questions.
- Hosts of an event can enable Approve Q&A within an event to screen Q&A questions prior to publishing them live for the entire event to see.
- Hosts of an event can enable Anonymous Q&A within an event to provide users the option to submit Q&A questions anonymously.
-
Once a question has been answered (via live or by text), the Host can mark it as Answered and move it to an Answered tab at the bottom of the Q&A section.
Polls
-
The Host(s) of an event can publish or queue a Poll before or during the event for the audience to respond to.
-
Polls can have up to 10 options and results of the poll will show in real-time once a user has voted.

Once the event is live - you will not be able to audibly speak with the Host(s) or event organizer through the component. It is best to keep a cell phone nearby with important numbers in case you need to speak with someone quickly!
