The Q&A feature lets you gather questions from your audience during a presentation, then organise and answer them one by one.

​
Two Q&A Modes

Add a Q&A slide to your presentation deck from the slide type picker. Participants can only send you questions while you’re presenting that slide. Type a heading in the Heading field to invite your audience to ask — something clear and welcoming works best, for example “Got a question? Ask away!”To add one, click New slide and select Q&A.
If your presentation includes more than one Q&A slide, all submitted questions appear on every Q&A slide — Q&A works as a single, shared session across the entire presentation, not as separate question boards per slide. A question submitted on one Q&A slide is also visible on any other Q&A slide in the same presentation.

​
Managing Questions

The Q&A queue on your presenter screen lets you sort and manage incoming questions using five filters:
  • Top — sorts by most upvoted questions first, so the most popular questions rise to the top. This is the default filter.
  • Pinned — shows only questions you have pinned, keeping your priority items visible.
  • Newest — sorts by most recently submitted.
  • Oldest — sorts by earliest submitted, useful for working through questions in the order they arrived.
  • Answered — shows questions you have already marked as answered.
To answer a question:
  1. Click the question in the queue.
  2. Click Answer to mark it as answered. The question moves to the Answered tab and out of the active queue.
To pin a question: Hover over any question and click Pin. This both moves it under the Pinned filter and sticks it to the top of the Top questions filter. Pin a question when you want to come back to it or when it’s currently being discussed.

​
Q&A Settings

Find these settings in the Content panel of your Q&A slide, or in Settings → Q&A with your audience. The same settings apply whether you’re holding Q&A on all slides or only on a dedicated Q&A slide.
Automatically block questions containing offensive language before they appear in the live queue. See how to use the profanity filter for details. Enable this for any session where the audience is large or not fully known.
Available on Pro, Enterprise, and Edu Large plans. Review questions before they appear in the live queue. Turning this on gives you a link to moderation mode, which you (or a dedicated moderator) can open in a separate tab to approve or dismiss incoming questions. Click Approve to let a question through, or Dismiss to erase it — each moves to the Approved or Dismissed category in moderation mode, and you can move a question back to Pending if you made a mistake. Recommended for public webinars and large events.
Lets each audience member see all submitted questions on their own device, as well as on the presenter’s screen. Turning this off creates a private queue visible only to the presenter.
Lets each audience member submit a question without entering their name. The name field still appears but isn’t mandatory to fill in.
The Q&A slide supports up to 1,000 questions per presentation.
Enable Moderation for webinars or large public events to prevent off-topic or inappropriate questions from appearing live. You can review and approve questions in real time from the presenter dashboard without the audience seeing the delay.
