I disabled chat for the webinar prior to starting it, but inadvertently must have also disabled Q and A. Once the webinar started, we tried to enable it but couldn't. I logged into my zoom account while the webinar was in progress, and couldn't edit the settings. I had the account owner change the setting successfully, but it didn't translate to the live webinar in progress. Was there a way I could have enabled Q and A while the webinar was in progress?

Once the Webinar is started and while in progress, making changes on the Zoom Web Portal will generally not have any effect on the in-progress Webinar. Any changes to Q&A should be done on the Q&A Panel:
Disabling the Attendee can submit questions item makes the Q&A icon bring up a "Host has turned off Q&A" message; re-enabling that item make the Q&A functionality work again.
Very similar to enabling/disabling Chat:
If Attendees Can Chat with No One is selected, they will get a Chat disabled message on the chat window; selecting either Hosts and panelists or Everyone will enable the associated functionality.
