Open audience Q&A
Enable audience Q&A in the deck’s prepared outline through a connected agent before starting. During the session, participants can submit questions and upvote questions while you continue through the deck.
Open Session menu → Q&A desk for the moderation view. Review submitted questions, hide inappropriate or duplicate items, restore hidden items when appropriate, and spotlight a selected question on the stage. Clear or change the spotlight when moving on.
Select Show Q&A on stage to project the question list and Take Q&A off stage to return to the deck. The presenter’s Q&A tab offers the same switch as Stage Q&A. Use Unspotlight or Remove from stage to return a highlighted question to the list.
In the presenter’s question cards, Answered records that you have dealt with a question and hides it from the stage. That answered marker is kept in the current browser session; the question’s hidden state is shared with the live session.
Use Copy Q&A desk link when opening your moderation view on another device. Treat that link as a host credential. A shared colleague should use their own authenticated session access when available.
Question-specific Q&A is also available in prepared outlines. Its response collection follows that interaction’s active state; session-wide audience Q&A accompanies the whole session.
Set up shared group answers
Before teaching, select each intended group question in the deck editor and choose Design → Responses → One per group. Other questions can remain Individual.
During the session:
- Wait for participants to join.
- Open the Groups panel and select New group.
- Enter a Group name.
- Find and select the participants who belong to it.
- Select Make spokesperson for the member who will send the shared answer.
- Select Save group.
The spokesperson submits on the group’s behalf. Other members see the group’s answer state. The host’s answered count identifies group answers when the active question uses group responses.
Change groups during teaching
Select Edit group to change membership or choose another spokesperson. A participant belongs to one current group; selecting someone from another group moves them when the change is saved.
Earlier answers stay associated with their original group. Changing the spokesperson retains the group’s submitted answer. Dissolve removes the active group arrangement while retaining its submitted responses. A new group begins with a fresh answer identity.
Use this behavior deliberately when regrouping between activities: review the current question and answer-change policy before a new spokesperson responds.
Work with another facilitator
Required: shared-session collaboration enabled for the session, current membership of its space, and an authorized host connection.
Have each colleague open the ongoing session through the shared Library. When multiple facilitators are connected, the facilitation strip identifies the current presenter.
- The presenter changes slides, controls reveals, freezes participation, and ends the session.
- Other facilitators can moderate responses and manage groups using the controls available to them.
To hand over, select Pass presentation and choose the colleague. Confirm that their strip shows You are presenting before they take over. The audience remains in the same session with its existing answers.
When recovery is permitted, Take back presentation restores presenter control. Use this if a handoff left the active presenter unavailable.
Prepare a workshop recap
Open Session menu → Prepare workshop recap. Select the results and public material to include, preview the recap, and download it. Review selected free-text material before sharing. See results and recaps for refresh behavior and exports.
