Ask the moderator questions during a session - for participants


About 

The Q&A tab (question mark icon) lets you ask moderators and speakers questions during a live session.

The Q&A experience can vary depending on the session configuration. Your Q&A tab might display questions as conversation threads or in a question list.

Follow the instructions below that match what you see in your session.

Understand question threads

Depending on the session configuration, your questions can be organized in a single thread or multiple threads:

  • Single thread – All your questions and responses with moderators and speakers appear in one conversation thread. This is the default experience.
  • Multiple threads – Each question starts a separate conversation thread, so you can have multiple Q&A conversations at the same time.

Multi thread:
