Question

Can only see my own questions in Q&A

Since yesterday I've attended several webinars with many questions and answers, but I can only see my own question in the Q&A box. I've checked with another user and there were hundreds. Why can't I see them?

The webinar host sets the Q&A options individually for each webinar.

See this Zoom Support article for details:

I’m not the host. Other participants can see all the questions but I can’t.

Hi @curtinparloe, do you have a screenshot of this? There should be 2 sections in the Q&A window; All questions and My questions. Were other attendees talking about many questions in the chat function maybe and not the Q&A window?

I didn't take a screenshot. My partner was also attending the webinar and she could see lots of Q&A questions, I had only my own in both sections.

I had the same issue. The "all questions" feature only showed my questions. However, I was also logged in on another account under the host feature and saw over 10 questions answered after I joined. I checked and my colleagues could also see all questions answered despite not having host or panelist privileges.

That's exactly what I'm getting (it's my partner who can see all the questions).

Did you ever find a solution?

@BerlinHubert mentioned not seeing them, but then DID see them when logged into "another account under the host feature". This is all dependent on the options set for the Q&A.

The hosts/co-hosts/panelists will always see all the questions.

What attendees see is based on how the host configures the settings:

On displaying the Q&A window (by the host), clicking the gear icon produces the settings window shown. Setting "Allow attendees to view answered questions only" would do exactly what you've experienced.

@Ray_Harwood To clarify:

3 of 10 attendees could NOT see all answered questions. 7 of 10 attendees could see all answered questions.

The settings were the same: see all answered questions.

In fact, the only options in the webinar Q&A allow for you to see all questions answered. The options change based on if you want to see all questions asked. Thus, it makes no sense that I couldn't see all questions answered as an attendee, but another attendee in the same webinar could.

No. It remains an insoluble problem.
