Live Q&A
This is where you can promote a live component of your virtual event - a Q&A, panel discussion, live performance, etc.
You can host the live Q&A on whatever platform you’d like - Zoom, Google Hangouts, Facebook Live, BlueJeans, etc. All you’ll need to do is add the URL for your live event using the instructions below.
Keep in mind that some of these platforms have fees for events with high attendance rates. You can ask your partner organization for the credentials to their platform accounts to use for the live Q&A. For example, ask your partner if they have a Pro Zoom account as use their account for the event.
