Product Feature Release

<h1><strong><em>Featured Feature&nbsp;</em></strong></h1><h2 class="ql-align-center">Q&amp;A Updates</h2><h3>Answer replies now available in the Q&amp;A module</h3><p>As a moderator, you may want to give a written answer to a Q&amp;A submission. You can now answer any questions submitted in the Q&amp;A tab in the form of a direct reply. It is also possible to give multiple replies to a question, so different moderators may provide different answers as needed. An authorized user (e.g., hosts, staff, and chat moderators) will be able to click on the text of a Q&amp;A submission. If clicked, they will be directed to a page where they can submit, edit, delete, or view replies. Each reply can be up to 500 characters.</p><p>Learn more about Q&amp;A answer replies <u><a href="https://support.gradual.com/en/articles/10071421-event-q-a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></u>.&nbsp;</p><div><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 75%;"><iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/109YUWwzVlHrAoHj4IRI-oTCqtvx2LImH/preview" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div><h3><br></h3><h3>Q&amp;A module now available in livestream meeting rooms &amp; sponsor’s video chat rooms</h3><p>Meeting rooms nested within a livestream event agenda can now include the Q&amp;A module to encourage members to submit their questions in the group video call.
