Moderated Q&A is a live audience interaction tool where participants submit questions digitally and the host decides which ones appear on screen. Unlike open chat or unmuted microphones, moderation ensures your session stays professional, on-topic, and harassment-free.
In Trivia Anywhere, you toggle moderation on (or off for casual sessions), and every submitted question lands in your queue. You can approve, pin, mark as answered, or dismiss — all from the host dashboard in real-time.

FAQ
What is moderated Q&A?
Moderated Q&A lets your audience submit questions through their devices while you — the host — review and approve which ones appear on screen. This prevents inappropriate or off-topic questions from disrupting your event.
Is Trivia Anywhere's Q&A tool free?
Yes. The free tier supports up to 25 participants with full moderation features. The $20/mo Pro plan removes all participant limits for larger events.
How is this different from Slido?
Trivia Anywhere combines Q&A with trivia, bingo, polls, and Wheel of Words in one platform. Slido focuses solely on Q&A and polling. If you want audience engagement beyond just questions — like running a trivia game during your event — Trivia Anywhere is the better choice.
Do attendees need to create accounts?
No. Participants scan a QR code or enter a join code in their browser. No app download, no account creation, no email required.
Can I use Q&A alongside trivia in the same event?
Yes. Each experience in Trivia Anywhere can be a different type — trivia, bingo, Q&A, poll, or Wheel of Words. You can create multiple experiences and switch between them during your event.
Can I export the questions asked?
Yes. All submitted questions and their statuses (approved, pinned, answered, dismissed) are available in your dashboard and can be exported.
