Microsoft Teams is introducing a feature that allows organizers and co-organizers of meetings, webinars, and town halls to enable attendees to upvote significant questions and declutter by archiving questions from the main Q&A feed. When this will happen:General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late September 2024 (previously early-September) and expect to complete by mid-October 2024 (previously late September). How this will affect your organization:Voting on questions: With voting enabled, attendees can prioritize questions by upvoting to move them to the top of the Q&A feed. Organizers and co-organizers have the ability to organize questions by most upvoted or most recent. Voting is automatically activated in events using Q&A. Organizers and co-organizers have the option to disable voting via the Q&A settings. Archiving Questions: Organizers and co-organizers have the option to archive questions from the main Q&A feed. This feature is particularly useful for recurring meetings or events, where previous questions may no longer be relevant and need to be cleared from the main Q&A feed. They have the ability to archive questions individually or in bulk from the Q&A feed. Once a question is archived, it gets moved to the archived Q&A feed. Additionally, questions can be restored to the main Q&A feed at any time. What you need to do to prepare:Notify the meeting organizers within your organization that voting and archiving features will be available for use in meetings, webinars, and town halls. The Q&A public documentation will soon be updated to include details on voting and question archiving. |
