Live Q&A and question moderation for conferences and live events
The questions nobody puts their hand up for.
Every room has them. The person who won’t queue at a microphone, the one whose English runs out under pressure, the one who doesn’t want their name attached. Oracle collects questions from every phone in the room and online, lets the audience upvote the ones that matter, and puts your moderator in front of all of it before a word reaches the screen.
Anonymous, but not unfiltered. Attendees can ask without their name. Your moderator still approves every question before the room sees it.

Questions
No app · No sign-up · Upvote what you want asked
Try it: ask a question, tick or untick anonymous, and upvote the ones you want answered.
Anonymous questions
Names change the questions.
Ask a room of employees to put their name on a question in front of their director and you’ll get the safe ones. Open the same session anonymously and the real ones arrive — the restructure, the account you lost, the hiring freeze nobody has explained.
That’s uncomfortable, and it’s the point. The questions people are already asking in the corridor are the ones worth answering from the stage.
- Attendees choose, question by question, whether to attach their name.
- Your moderator reviews every question either way.
- Anonymous questions carry no name on screen, in the recap or in the export.
Moderator controls
You decide what the room sees.
Nothing reaches the venue screen until your moderator approves it. One view holds every incoming question, the approved queue and whatever is currently in front of the speaker.

No questions waiting.
Approved
On the venue screen
How do you keep captions accurate with strong accents?
Try it: approve the good ones, hide the spam, and send one up next.
- Approve before anything appears on screen, so nothing arrives unseen in front of a minister or a client.
- Hide spam, duplicates and the one about the catering, without the asker being told off in public.
- Send up next so the chair and the speaker both know what’s coming.
- Merge the room and the online audience into one queue, ranked by the same votes.
- Hand over — more than one moderator can work the same session.
Every action here is one click, from a laptop at the side of the room or a desk upstairs.
What the speaker sees
No shouting from the floor.
Your speaker gets one question at a time, already chosen, already phrased, with the vote count beside it so they know the room is behind it. Your chair stops being a traffic warden and goes back to chairing.
Speaker view · Main stage
“How does Oracle handle heavy accents and crosstalk?”
The same question your moderator sent up next, on the speaker’s confidence monitor.
One queue for the room and the online audience
Remote isn’t a second row.
Attendees in the hall scan the QR code on screen. Attendees at home open the event link. Both land in the same queue, upvote the same questions and see the same answers, so nobody online has to type “can you hear me?” into a chat window and hope.

The questions you didn’t get to
Every session runs out of time.
Forty questions arrive, six get answered, and the rest are usually lost when the lights come up. Oracle keeps all of them, ranked by the votes the room already gave them, so your follow-up writes itself.

Anonymous means anonymous
Nobody gets a list of names.
If an attendee asks anonymously, no name appears on the screen, in the recap or in the export you receive. That has to be true or the feature is worse than useless — a town hall where people suspect they can be identified is a town hall where nobody asks anything again.

Frequently asked questions
How do attendees ask a question?
They scan the QR code on screen or open the event link, type the question and send it. No app, no download, no sign-up.
Can attendees ask anonymously?
Yes, and they choose question by question. Anonymous questions carry no name on the screen, in the recap or in the export you receive. Your moderator still approves every one.
Does every question go straight onto the screen?
No. Nothing appears until your moderator approves it. Spam and duplicates are hidden in one click, and the asker isn’t singled out for it.
Can the audience vote on questions?
Yes. Attendees upvote the questions they want asked, so the queue is ranked by the room rather than by who typed fastest.
Can more than one person moderate?
Yes — most events run a moderator at the side of the room with a second pair of eyes backstage.
Do remote attendees ask in the same place?
Yes. The room and the online audience share one queue and one set of votes, so remote questions compete on merit rather than being read out last.
What happens to the questions we don’t get to?
You keep them, ranked by votes, so you can answer the top few in your follow-up. They’re in your export and the answered ones are in the attendee recap.
Can questions be asked in another language?
Tell us which languages your audience needs and we’ll confirm what we can run for your event. Live translation covers the session itself in multiple languages.
How is this different from a microphone and a queue?
A microphone favours the confident and the tall. It also costs you the ten minutes of a session where someone makes a speech instead of asking a question. This way the room decides what gets asked, and your chair sees it first.
What does it cost?
It depends on your programme and how many sessions you’re running. WhatsApp us on +65 8836 2597, email [email protected], or book a demo.
