Microsoft Teams: Voting and archiving questions in Teams Q&A feed

Microsoft Teams is rolling out a feature for meeting organizers to enable attendee voting on questions and archiving questions from the Q&A feed. This is part of Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 398445 and will be available worldwide by late September 2024. Organizers should be notified to prepare for these updates.

Microsoft Teams is introducing a feature that allows organizers and co-organizers of meetings, webinars, and town halls to enable attendees to upvote significant questions and declutter by archiving questions from the main Q&A feed.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 398445.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early-September 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Voting on questions: With voting enabled, attendees can prioritize questions by upvoting to move them to the top of the Q&A feed. Organizers and co-organizers have the ability to organize questions by most upvoted or most recent. Voting is automatically activated in events using Q&A. Organizers and co-organizers have the option to disable voting via the Q&A settings.

Archiving Questions: Organizers and co-organizers have the option to archive questions from the main Q&A feed. This feature is particularly useful for recurring meetings or events, where previous questions may no longer be relevant and need to be cleared from the main Q&A feed.

They have the ability to archive questions individually or in bulk from the Q&A feed. Once a question is archived, it gets moved to the archived Q&A feed. Additionally, questions can be restored to the main Q&A feed at any time.

What you need to do to prepare:

Notify the meeting organizers within your organization that voting and archiving features will be available for use in meetings, webinars, and town halls. The Q&A public documentation will soon be updated to include details on voting and question archiving.
