Submitted Questions - Facilitator Guide

Submitted Questions allow attendees to submit their own questions they would like the speaker to address. 

All questions are submitted to the moderator, who can choose to bookmark relevant questions for later use. These questions can then be pushed to the Audience Display Screen and addressed by the facilitator/speaker or turned into an Audience Polling question for the audience.

Submitted Questions are a good option if you want more control over the content being shared/discussed amongst attendees.

Questions submitted by attendees can also be placed in an Upvote Queue. This allows fellow attendees to vote for the Submitted Questions they want the speaker to address. Upvoting is similar to a ‘like’ or ‘thumbs up’, indicating to the moderator/speaker which questions the attendees would most like answered.
