How to Present a Live Session

Questions.now TeamApril 11, 20261 min read

Presenter Mode gives you a clean, full-screen view of your session designed for projection on a big screen. It shows live questions, poll results, word clouds, and audience reactions — all updating in real time.

Step 1: Open your session

Go to your Dashboard and click on the session you want to present.

Step 2: Click "Present"

In the session view, click the "Present" button. This opens your session in a dedicated full-screen presenter layout.

Step 3: Project or share your screen

Connect your laptop to a projector or share your screen via a video call. The presenter view is optimized for large displays with high-contrast text and clean layout.

Step 4: Manage from a second device

While presenting, open the regular session view on your phone or a second browser tab. This lets you:

  • Approve or dismiss questions (if moderation is on).
  • Highlight specific questions for the audience.
  • Launch polls and word clouds.
  • Mark questions as answered.

Changes you make on the management view update instantly on the presenter screen.

What's shown in Presenter Mode

  • Questions — approved questions sorted by votes, with live vote counts.
  • Polls — active polls with real-time vote results.
  • Word clouds — active word clouds updating as submissions come in.
  • Reactions — emoji reactions floating across the screen as participants send them.
  • Session code & QR — always visible so new participants can join.

Tips

  • Use a second device to manage the session while the presenter screen is projected.
  • If your session uses branding, the presenter view will reflect your brand colors and logo.
  • Presenter Mode works great for both in-person events and virtual meetings via screen share.
