Participate in a Q&A in a live event in Microsoft Teams

Important:

Teams live events will no longer be going away on September 30, 2024, as previously announced. While we still recommend switching to Teams town halls for new features and experiences, you can now schedule live events beyond September 2024.
For more information, please read this blog post for more information.

In a Teams live event, attendees can interact with producers and presenters through a Q&A, if the organizer set it up when they organized the event.

Ask a question

As an attendee, you can ask questions in the Q&A as soon as you join the event, even if the event hasn't started yet. If the event includes a Q&A, the Q&A panel will be open when you join.

Select Ask a question at the bottom of the pane
Type your question in the compose box
Select Send
If this is a public event and you want to ask your question anonymously, your name will be optional and you can leave it blank. Then select Post as anonymous before you send your question.

If the moderator publishes your question, it appears on everyone's Featured tab, along with the answer. If it isn't published, it appears on your My questions tab where only you will see it.
