Questions and answers

Ask your audience for text responses or selections and review the results.

Questions and answers

Speaker-created questions collect structured participation. They are separate from audience Q&A.

Choose a type

TypeAudience inputExample
TextA written response“What would you like to learn today?”
Single SelectOne configured choice“Which tool do you use most?”
Multiple SelectSeveral configured choices“Which topics interest you?”

Text answers support up to 255 characters.

Configure a question

Add the question text, input label, and placeholder. For selection questions, configure the choices and their values, and choose a bar or donut chart for results.

Single-select inputs support a select or radio presentation. Multiple-select inputs support a multi-select or checkboxes, with minimum and maximum selection settings in the editor.

Choice values identify answers internally; choice text is the label people read.

Order and share

Reorder questions in the talk workspace to match your presentation. Ordering is separate from the question's number: moving a question does not renumber it.

Use the generated audience short link to direct people to a specific question. The talk must be running before people can answer.

Review results

Open a question to inspect its saved answers. Choose Live presenter results for a presentation-oriented view.

For multiple-select questions, one response can contribute to several choice counts. Do not interpret the sum of those counts as a count of people.

Edit safely

Existing answers are not converted when you change a question's type or choice values. Such changes can make historical answers difficult to interpret.

Prefer a separate question or duplicated talk for a new version once responses have been collected.

Clear or delete

Delete all answers permanently removes the question's saved responses while keeping the question.

Delete question permanently removes both the question and its answers. The interface requires confirmation; neither action can be undone.
