Interactive Teaching and Learning in Microsoft Teams Help & Support

Polling Activities (Q&A)

This help page will show you how to add Q&A to a structured meeting in Microsoft Teams. By incorporating the Q&A app into your session, you can streamline the question-asking process and ensure a smooth flow of communication. This feature allows participants to submit their enquiries in an organized manner, enabling you to address them in a systematic and efficient way.

To incorporate the Q&A into a scheduled Microsoft Teams meeting, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the ‘Meeting options’ of your scheduled meeting using the ellipsis or ‘three dot’ menu.
  1. Locate the Q&A button and toggle it to the ‘Yes’ position, then click ‘Save’.
  1. Return to the meeting invite and click on the Add a tab (+) option and search for the Q&A app > Add. If it is already available, just click on the tab.
  1. Configure the Q&A settings to provide specific permissions for attendees using the options below.
  1. Select the option to ‘Moderate questions’ (if you want to moderate attendee conversations), this allows organisers to decide which questions to publish to the Q&A feed. If there are any additional individuals you want to act as Q&A moderators, please ensure they are designated as organisers for the webinar.
  1. Once you have made the required adjustments, select ‘Save’ to save the changes.
