Meeting Options > Enable Q&A

Teams meetings organizers can soon set up a Q&A in their meetings via Meeting Options. Q&A is perfect for large or structured meetings – such as trainings, town hall, all hands and more. When Q&A is enabled, meeting attendees can join their Teams meeting, click the Q&A icon, and ask questions and engage in the discussion.

Moderators can choose to enable moderation to review questions before they are published live.

Going forward, meeting organizers and co-organizers must use Meeting Options to enable Q&A in their meetings. With Q&A available to enable through Meeting Options, the Q&A app in the Teams App Store will be removed in August. If there are existing meetings where Q&A was added from the Teams App Store, please remove the Q&A app and switch to using Q&A enabled through Meeting Options. Not using Meeting Options to enable Q&A will result in two Q&A icons showing in the meeting with instructions on how to remove the Q&A app that was added from the Teams App Store. There is no data lost when switching Q&A from the Teams App Store to enabling via Meeting Options. All questions, conversations, comments, etc. will continue to be available in the Q&A experience enabled via Meeting Options.
