Enabling Q&A for Meetings

Admins can control if their users can schedule a meeting with Q&A as an in-meeting option. Q&A allows participants to ask questions during the meeting, and for the host and co-hosts to answer their questions. Account owners and admins can also apply Chat Etiquette to Q&A to create and manage policies that identify defined keywords, text patterns/regular expressions.

Q&A is also available for use in Webinars.
