Why Live Q&A Matters

Live Q&A transforms a one-way presentation into a two-way conversation. With InteractiveSlide.co, participants can ask questions at any point during your talk, ensuring that their voices are heard. This not only increases engagement but also gives speakers valuable insight into what the audience is thinking, confused about, or curious to explore.

Key Features of Live Q&A on InteractiveSlide.co

Real-Time Question Submission

Audience members can submit their questions directly from their devices — smartphones, tablets, or laptops. This lets them participate actively without interrupting the flow of your presentation.

Anonymous or Identified Questions

Allow participants to ask questions anonymously if you want to encourage honest and uninhibited input, or let them identify themselves to foster accountability and follow-up.

Upvoting & Prioritization

Questions from the audience can be upvoted. Popular questions bubble up, so you can prioritize and address what most people care about. This helps manage the flow and ensures relevance.

Moderation Tools

As the presenter or moderator, you can review incoming questions, filter inappropriate ones, and queue the selected questions to be answered live. This ensures a clean, focused Q&A experience.

Live Display of Questions

Display questions live on screen so the whole audience (in-person or virtual) sees what’s being asked. This transparency helps everyone feel included and creates a shared experience.

Open Text Responses

Not every question needs a multiple-choice answer. Participants can type free-form questions, and you can respond with detailed, thoughtful answers.

Analytics & Export

After the session, you can export the list of questions and responses. This data can be used to analyze audience concerns, improve future presentations, or follow up with participants.
