As an event admin or collaborator, you have the ability to mark audience questions as "off-topic" if they are not relevant to the discussion. This feature helps keep the focus on pertinent topics and ensures a more productive Q&A session.

Why Mark Questions Off-Topic?

Marking a question off-topic is a respectful way to deprioritize inquiries that do not align with the event’s agenda. This allows you to maintain a clear and focused discussion.

Effects of Marking Off-Topic Questions

  • Reordering: Off-topic questions will be pushed to the bottom of the Q&A list, making it easier to focus on relevant inquiries.

  • Upvoting disabled: Upvoting will be disabled for off-topic questions, preventing them from distracting from the main discussion.

How to Mark a Question Off-Topic

  1. Identify irrelevant questions: During the Q&A session, look for questions that stray from the main topics.

  2. Use the "Mark off-topic" option:

    • Click on the drop-down menu next to the question you want to mark.

    • Select the "Mark off-topic" button.

By effectively marking questions off-topic, you can foster a more respectful and focused environment during your event.
