Q&A

Q&A is an audience-questions activity. Instead of guessing an answer, participants send in their own questions, and the host brings them up on the shared screen to answer them live. It's ideal for AMAs, panels, town halls, and the "any questions?" moment at the end of a talk.

How players experience it

1. On their phone, players see the activity's topic and an Ask button.
2. Tapping Ask opens a simple box where they type their question (you can use light formatting, up to a couple hundred characters) and hit Submit.
3. They can keep asking more questions, and, if the host allows it, see the questions other participants have asked, newest first.

There are no points, right answers, or timers to race in a Q&A. It's about collecting what the room wants to know.

How it plays out on the big screen

The host drives a presenter view that shows one question at a time, large and centered, with a running "X / Y answered" count. Using the on-screen arrows (or the up/down keys), the host moves through the questions and presses Enter to mark the current one as answered so the audience can see progress. New questions arriving live simply join the list without stealing the screen.

Setting one up as a host

When you add a Q&A to your Roo, you just write the topic or prompt for the session (and can add an image if you like). There are no answer choices to build. The questions are supplied by your audience.

A few live settings let you shape the experience, and you can flip them during the session:

• Hold new questions for review. Turns on moderation, so incoming questions wait in a private queue until you approve (or dismiss) them before they hit the screen.
• Participants can see others' questions. Lets the audience browse the question feed on their own devices.
• Hide participant names. Runs the Q&A fully anonymous, showing every asker as "Anonymous."

You can also moderate from a second device: copy the private moderator link and open it on your phone or laptop to approve, hide, and feature questions without any of that showing on the projected screen.

Tips

• Turn on moderation for bigger or public crowds so you can quietly screen questions before they appear.
• Go anonymous when you want candid questions. People ask more freely when names are hidden.
• Use a second device as your moderator so the shared screen stays clean while you curate behind the scenes.
