Google Meet is getting a new Q&A moderation feature that will allow meeting hosts to review and approve questions before they are shared with meeting attendees. This new feature is designed to help ensure that questions are appropriate and on topic, and to prevent disruptive or inappropriate questions from being asked.

The Q&A moderation feature is currently available in beta, and it will be rolled out to all Google Meet users in the coming weeks. To enable Q&A moderation, meeting hosts will need to go to the "Meeting activities" section of the host controls and select the "Allow questions in Q&A" option. Once Q&A moderation is enabled, meeting hosts will be able to review and approve questions before they are shared with other meeting attendees.

To review a question, the meeting host will need to click on the "Review" button next to the question. The host will then be able to see the question and the name of the person who asked the question. The host can then approve the question, reject the question, or hide the question from other meeting attendees.

If the meeting host approves the question, it will be shared with all meeting attendees. If the meeting host rejects the question, it will not be shared with other meeting attendees. If the meeting host hides the question, it will not be visible to the meeting host or other meeting attendees.

The Q&A moderation feature is a valuable tool for meeting hosts who want to ensure that their meetings are productive and engaging. By allowing meeting hosts to review and approve questions before they are shared, the Q&A moderation feature can help to prevent disruptive or inappropriate questions from being asked, and it can help to ensure that questions are relevant to the topic of the meeting.
