Open questions early
Put the join code on screen from your first slide and tell people they can send questions any time. By the end you will have a ranked list instead of silence. In PollKit the code stays in the corner of every slide.
Let upvotes pick the order
Upvotes surface what the room actually wants to know, and stop one person's pet topic taking over. Answer from the top; mark each answered so it drops down.
Moderate, but lightly
Hide spam and personal attacks, merge duplicates by answering one, and leave critical-but-fair questions in. Audiences notice when only easy questions appear.
Answer the hard ones first
If the top question is uncomfortable, take it. Skipping it costs more trust than any answer.
Follow up
Export the CSV after the session and answer the questions you did not get to.
FAQ
Should Q&A be anonymous?
Anonymous questions are usually more honest. PollKit does not collect names.
How many questions can one person ask?
Up to five per Q&A slide.
Can I show questions on phones too?
Yes. Approved questions appear on phones where people can upvote them.
