Live Q&A for Any Session
Let the room ask what it actually needs — in real time
Whether you're teaching in a classroom, running a virtual workshop, or hosting a hybrid all-hands — Live Q&A lets participants submit questions, upvote what matters, and get answers without shouting or raising hands.
Works in-person, online or hybrid
Submit and upvote — the best questions rise to the top
Moderate, mark answered, hide or delete
Anonymous questions for honest participation
In-person classrooms Students submit questions without interrupting the flow. Quiet students get a voice alongside the confident hand-raisers.
Virtual meetings & webinars No more chat-scrolling. Questions are visible, upvoted, and organized — the host sees exactly what needs attention.
Hybrid events & all-hands Remote and in-room participants contribute to the same feed. Everyone's question gets equal visibility regardless of location.
Session fit
Q&A works best when the room shapes the agenda
Great for hosts who need…
- A real-time pulse on what the audience is actually wondering
- To avoid the same 2-3 people dominating every Q&A moment
- To manage questions at scale — 20, 50, or 200+ participants
- To close gaps between what you presented and what landed
- A recorded Q&A log to reference after the session ends
Less ideal if…
- You need a multi-round poll or survey instead of open Q&A
- You want a one-way broadcast with no audience interaction
- Your format is fully asynchronous with no live host present
The best Q&A sessions happen when the host sees the full question landscape — not just the first hand that went up.
How it works
Three steps to a better Q&A flow
2. Questions flow in
Participants type their questions and upvote others. The most-wanted questions surface to the top automatically.
- Upvote/downvote to prioritize
- Anonymous option for sensitive topics
3. Host moderates and answers
Mark questions as answered, hide irrelevant ones, or delete. The display screen shows the live feed to the room.
- Moderate in real time
- Answered questions stay visible for reference
Host advantage
See the full question landscape, not just the loudest voice
In any live session — classroom, workshop, meeting, or event — the real questions often stay unasked. Some participants are shy, some don't want to interrupt, and some assume their question is obvious. Live Q&A surfaces what the room actually needs, prioritized by the audience themselves.
Instead of scanning a chaotic chat or guessing what to cover, the host sees a clean, ranked list of questions. Answer them in order of importance, mark them done, and close the loop.

Deep dive
From scattered chat to organized Q&A
A typical virtual session chat is a firehose of comments, questions, emoji reactions and side conversations. Live Q&A extracts just the questions, lets the audience rank them, and gives the host a focused queue to work through.
- Questions sorted by upvotes — the most requested ones come first
- Mark answered to track progress through the queue
- Project the feed so the whole room sees what's coming
- Hide or delete off-topic or duplicate questions
