During a presentation, Q&A lets attendees raise their hand to ask a question. Hosts and presenters see a queue of raised hands and choose who speaks next.

​
Turn on Q&A (hosts and presenters)

Q&A is one of the Audience Participation options for a presentation. Choose Queued Q & A when you start the presentation, or later in the presentation’s audio settings. With Queued Q & A, attendees push to ask questions for everyone to hear, and the questions are queued. The other Audience Participation options are:
  • Single Push to Speak: one attendee at a time can speak to the whole room.
  • Many Push to Speak: several attendees can speak at the same time.
  • No Audience Participation: no one in the audience can speak to the presenter.
  • Open Audience Participation: everyone can speak to the presenter.

​
Raise your hand (attendees)

  1. When Q&A is on, click Raise Hand in the toolbar. The tooltip reads Raise your hand to ask a question.
  2. The button changes to Lower Hand. Click it if you change your mind.
  3. When a host accepts your hand, you can speak to the room. Click Stop Speaking when you’re done.

​
Manage raised hands (hosts and presenters)

Raised hands appear in the chat panel, in the Q&A section under Raised Hands. The number next to the heading shows how many people are waiting.
  • Click the check mark next to a name to let that person speak.
  • Click the X to decline.
  • Click Disable Q&A to turn Q&A off.
