Questions about Q&A

Hi Team,

 

I'd like to know the answer for these questions:

1. Can we allow people to send in questions before a live call?
2. Can we allow people to send in questions during a call, but not allow anyone else on the call to see the questions?

 

Thank you!

Hello,

 

As far as I know the meeting has to be live for Q&A to work.

Q&A questions can be hidden from participants.

 

Here is a Zoom support document t that goes into greater detail:

You might be able to gather questions in advance using custom registration questions.

If you do registration, you can add a questions & comments box to allow them to enter text during registration. You will need to run the registration report to get the questions though.

 

As long as you don't public reply or click answer live, attendees won't know who posts what in the q&a.
