# Your first interactive talk

## 1. Prepare your account

Sign in, verify your email, and complete any access steps shown by Inalia. Audience members do not need to register.

Check your [plan's limits](plans-and-limits.md) before preparing several talks or questions.

## 2. Create a talk

From your talks list, choose **Create Talk** and enter the requested details. You can edit them later.

A newly created talk is disabled. Setting a scheduled date does not automatically start it.

## 3. Add a question

Create a question in the talk workspace. Choose text for an open response, single select for one choice, or multiple select for several choices.

Preview the wording and choices before sharing the [audience question link](questions-and-answers.md).

## 4. Choose participation features

Enable Feedback if you want to collect ratings and messages. Premium accounts can also enable Audience Questions and Live Reactions.

These settings are independent: you do not need to enable every feature.

## 5. Run and share

Choose **Run** in the Status card. Open **Overview** to check the audience experience, then share the generated participation links with your audience.

Keep presenter links private. Use **Dashboard** for audience Q&A and a question's **Live presenter results** for its answers.

## 6. Collect feedback and close

Leave the talk running while collecting feedback through Inalia's built-in form. When participation is complete, choose **Finish**.

Review saved answers and feedback from your owner workspace. Use [duplication](talks.md#duplicate-a-talk) to prepare a separate session without carrying over its participation.
