Boost digital event engagement with Voting and Archiving in Teams Q&A
Managing and delivering effective town halls is key to enabling two-way dialogue with leaders in today’s hybrid world. Microsoft Teams Q&A makes meetings like town halls, webinars, or training sessions more interactive and productive. We’re excited to announce two new features that help town hall admins better manage the Q&A experience.
Voting: Prioritize Key Questions
Voting lets attendees upvote important questions, moving them to the top of the Q&A feed. Here are the options for using this feature:
- Automatic: Voting is on by default but can be turned off.
- Fair Voting: Each attendee gets one vote per question.
- Sorting: Both attendees and organizers can sort questions by votes or activity.
Archiving: Keep the Feed Clean
Archiving lets organizers move older or irrelevant questions to a separate feed. In recurring town halls, old questions clutter the Q&A feed. Archiving keeps the current feed focused, while voting highlights the most important questions.
Key capabilities:
- Selective: Organizers can archive all or specific questions.
- Visibility: Both attendees and organizers can view archived questions via the filter.
Conclusion
Voting and Archiving in Teams Q&A ensures meetings are interactive, focused, and productive. Use these features to keep your audience engaged and your Q&A organized. Learn more about these at https://aka.ms/GetQnA
