Questions from Audience (also known as Q&A) is a feature that presenters can add to their presentations to enable the audience to ask questions directly to the presenter using their device. This article explains how to use this function and explores some of its most common use cases.

There are three ways to use Questions from Audience, which gives the presenter total control of how they wish to use this feature: 

You can use Questions from Audience as a slide type. This means that the presenter can decide exactly when the audience can ask questions and when they will be answered. The audience will only be able to ask questions when that slide is shown in the presentation. There is no limit on the number of Q&A slides you can add to your presentation, even if you are on the free plan.
​
To use this slide type, click on New Slide button and select the Q&A slide:

Alternatively, you can turn on Questions from Audience on every slide. This means that the audience can ask questions at any time during the presentation and the presenter can answer the questions at any point.

You will find this option in the Interactivity tab on the right side panel. Select Interactivity, then toggle Enable Q&A:

​

The final option is to use both the Q&A slide and turn on the Questions from Audience feature on all slides during the presentation. This means that the presenter can accept questions throughout the whole presentation, but also use the Q&A slide to indicate to the audience that they will dedicate a specific time to answering questions.
​
To enable this, simply add a Q&A slide, then click on the response section of the slide canvas. Then in the panel on the right-hand side of the screen, select "On all slides":

You can also easily enable Questions from Audience while presenting by clicking the "Enable Questions from Audience" button in the presentation menu:

When you are presenting a Questions from Audience slide, the most upvoted question will automatically be shown. Once you have answered a question, you can use the hotkey “Enter” to mark the question as answered. It will then be moved to the bottom of the question list, and the next unanswered question with the most upvotes from the audience will be shown.

If you have enabled Q&A on all slides, you should click the Questions from Audience icon in the bottom right-hand of the slide (or use the hotkey “Q”) when you want to answer/display the questions. A small notification dot will appear on the icon when there are new messages. When you click the icon the most upvoted question will display on your screen:

You can use the hotkey “Enter" on your keyboard to mark the selected question as answered.
​
For context, you will also see the name of the slide you were presenting when each question was submitted:
​

To see a list of the questions you have already marked as answered, while on a Q&A slide or on any slide if you have enabled Q&A on all slides, you should click the Questions from Audience icon in the bottom right-hand of the slide (or use the hotkey “Q”) to open up the Q&A feature, and then select "See all questions" in the to left corner:

This will open up a list of your questions, split into answered and unanswered:

You can also delete all answered questions from this menu as well to remove them from the presentation. Questions which have been deleted will not be included in any future Excel imports, so if you want to clear your Q&A session for a fresh start, you can reset the results and the questions from your previous sessions will be available when exporting to Excel.
​

It is also possible to export the questions that were received during the presentation via the Questions from Audience function (to Excel, not to PDF). To do this, simply export your results to Excel as normal, and select the Q&A tab in your spreadsheet to view the questions asked.
