Asking question during live teams event

Question

My questions are coming up private in Teams live event. How do I change that?

Answer 1

Hi BlairFahey,

Do you mean that you hope your question is public to all the attendees?

It needs the moderator to publish your question. Then, your answer is visible to everyone.

Answer 2

Hi,

The Live Event Q&A section is divided into New, Published, and Dismissed questions. When a new question is asked in the Live Event Q&A, producers and presenters will see a small indicator dot above the Q&A icon.

When a new question is posted, the number next to New will increment. Q&A moderators may opt to reply to the question using a Private reply. Questions that have been answered or that are otherwise unlikely to be useful to other attendees of the event may be Dismissed.

If a question is asked by many people or may be relevant to other attendees, a Q&A moderator may choose to publish the question. When a question is published, the question is moved to the Published section. Any previous private replies to this question are not visible when the question is published.
