Q & A : Question “Assignment” or “Claiming”

During our webinars we often have ~10 Panelist’s and 500+ attendees. We regularly see 100+ questions come in through the typed-in Q & A.

How are other Zoom Webinars users going about “Assigning” or “Claiming” questions to specific Panelists so that each Panelist can see that a question is being worked on, and multiple Panelists do not try and answer the same question?

    Hi Phillip,

     

    Currently, there is no option in Zoom Webinar Q&A to directly assign or claim a question for a specific panelist or user.

    Once a question is submitted in the Q&A panel:

    • All panelists can view the submitted questions and see when another panelist has started working on a response.
    • Panelists have two options for responding: Type an Answer or Answer Live.
    • Webinar settings can also allow participants to view previously answered questions and responses.
    • Once a question has been addressed, click Complete to remove it from the active question list and move it to the Answered tab.
    • If a question is a duplicate, irrelevant, or otherwise does not require a response, you can select Dismiss to remove it from the active queue.

    For webinars with a high volume of questions, having a dedicated Q&A moderator can also help coordinate responses and direct questions to the appropriate panelist.
