Use the Ask a Question feature to engage your audience with a Q&A session.

What is the Ask a Question Feature?

The Ask a Question feature allows attendees to submit all of their questions in one spot so you can easily see and access them during your event. As a host, you can timestamp each question as you're answering them, so they can be easily found at a later time.

When would I use it?

The Ask a Question feature is great for events that have an active chat wall. Questions can easily get lost amongst the influx of messages. It's also great for any event that has a Q&A portion.

What should I tell my attendees to do?

Attendees just need to click on the Ask a Question button, at the bottom of the screen, to expand the box. Once the box is open, they will see a large orange button with the words "Ask a question or suggest a topic". Clicking on this will allow them to type in their questions. They will have the option to edit or delete their question after it's been submitted. Everyone (attendees and host) have the ability to comment on one another's questions.

You can also encourage your attendees to upvote any questions they'd like answered. This will help you focus on the top questions, especially if you're limited on time for the Q&A portion. Upvoted questions will be bumped to the top of the list.

How does it work?

As a host, you have the ability to timestamp the question you're currently answering. This allows people who watch the replay to easily jump to that portion of the event to view the answer. If the event is public, an option to share the answer will be available, as well.

When you're ready to answer the question, click on the "start answering" button.
