Frequently asked questions
What is a Q&A timer?
A Q&A timer is a countdown used to manage question blocks during panels, webinars, talks, classrooms, town halls, and office hours.
How long should a Q&A section be?
Short talks may use 5 minutes. Webinars and panels often use 10 to 15 minutes, while office hours may run 30 minutes or longer.
Should the audience see the Q&A timer?
Sometimes. A visible timer helps set expectations, but speaker-facing or moderator-facing timers work better when the audience should stay focused on the discussion.
