Feature a Question
1. Head over to the Q&A tab while you're in Presentation Mode
2. Click on the feature icon to spotlight a question
3. That's it! The question is now featured on stage for everyone to see
The buttons shown below the featured question will only be visible to event hosts. Guests and speakers will only see the question featured on the stage.
Interacting with a Featured Question
With a featured question on stage, here's what you can do as the host:
- Invite Asker to Stage: Need some clarification on the question? Or, just want to give credit to the attendee that raised the question? Either way just click on "Invite Guest To Stage" for a shortcut to inviting the attendee that asked the question on stage.
Please note, if a question is asked anonymously, this option will not be available.
- Mark Answered: Just like the tick mark on the Q&A tab, you can also mark a question as answered directly by clicking the "Mark As Answered" button. This will also remove the question from both the stage and the Q&A list.
- Remove Question: When you're finished spotlighting a question, you can remove it by clicking "Remove Question From Stage" (but more on this in the section below)
