A Q&A app can also be enabled before starting a hangout-on-air (the broadcast version) so users accessing it via the Google+ stream can submit questions back to the broadcasters. They appear in a separate pane inside the hangout and the person hosting can select them to answer, which links the question/answer during playback. Other viewers can also see and "+1" questions. The main problem is that the delay of the stream (anywhere up to a minute) and the slight delay (10/20 seconds?) of the Q&A app means that it isn't immediate, so expect to see questions bubble up at the end, or shortly after a topic has been discussed. Here's an example from Foreman, click the "nine squares" icon in the top right, then Q&A and you can skip to answered questions. https://plus.google.com/u/0/hangouts/onair/watch?hid=hoaevent%2Fcuvptj02clqur9nojqcflc4pijc&wpsrc=yta&ytl=xmYmMQONq_0 - -- Dominic Cleal Red Hat Engineering -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlUK0TsACgkQfH0ybywrcsyxHQCeLPSYUcVYSu8taqXdiiB/JyMR pmsAniUsn5XI6ng2XSBgeWyCU1CNjZ7D =ZZpT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
