When a question is asked during the meeting, it will go to the Review tab, where the organizer or presenter can either Publish the comment so everyone can see it or Dismiss it. Here is an easy way to know how this works: 

  • In review- All new questions. 
  • Published- Questions that attendees can see. 
  • Dismissed- Attendees won’t see questions that have been reviewed but not published. 
Note: After the meeting, all the questions and answers will remain available for review in the Q&A tab in the Teams calendar event.
