During a webinar

Attendees can submit questions while a webinar's in-progress. On the Q&A panel:

  • Under the In review tab, review submitted questions in a private moderator view. Choose and publish which questions you'd like attendees to see.

  • Under the Publish tab, view published questions.

  • Under the Dismissed tab, review any irrelevant or duplicate questions.

  • For published questions, select All conversations > Unanswered Questions to filter and address them.

    • Respond to a question and post it when you're ready.

    • Once posted, all attendees can view a posted question and its response.

  • Choose an important post to pin it to the top of the Q&A panel so everyone can see it.
