Getting Started with Q&A

From your dashboard, there are two ways to launch a Q&A session:

  1. New Meeting

    • Click New Meeting to start a fresh meeting.

    • The Q&A module will be automatically enabled when you enter Presenter View.

  2. New Q&A

    • Click New Q&A to go directly into the Q&A Presenter View.

    • This creates an unnamed meeting (you can rename and edit later).

    • This meeting will launch with only the Q&A module active.

Clicking New Q&A will bring you into a meeting with only the Q&A module on. You will see the following:

Configuring Your Q&A

In Presenter View, open Q&A Settings (upper left-hand corner) to customize your session:

  • Edit the Q&A description, call-to-action, and navigation label.

  • Choose your voting mode (upvotes, downvotes, stars, etc.).

  • Enable or disable moderation and comments.

  • Adjust advanced settings for attendee interaction.

If you scroll on this page, you can also see more settings.

Once you set this up, your Q&A will be ready. Enable the Attendee View toggle to send a test question and see how it populates into the Presenter View.

Each submitted question has a toolbar with actions to help you organize and manage your Q&A.

  1. Click More (…) on any question.

  2. Select Configure toolbar.

  3. Click the pin icon beside an action to add it to the toolbar. Unpin actions you don’t need displayed.

  4. Optional: Select Apply to All Users to make your toolbar configuration the default for everyone managing the meeting.

Multi-Topic Q&A

For events that span multiple sessions, speakers, or themes, use the Multi-Topic Q&A Module:

  • Create separate Q&A topics (e.g., Morning Session and Afternoon Session).

  • Show or hide topics so attendees only see what’s relevant to them.

  • Run multiple topics at once (e.g., Questions for the CEO vs. Technical Questions).

  • Each topic behaves like an individual Q&A but is grouped within one meeting for better organization.

  • Multi-Topic Q&A can be also be utilized to create more organization when you have multiple topics of questions at the same time.

    • For example, one Topic could be "Questions for the CEO" and one could be "Technical questions", and they can be shown at the same time. The attendee simply adds their question where it is most appropriate.

✅ With these tools, you can run highly interactive Q&A sessions that keep participants engaged and make it easy to manage discussions across any event format.
