Question and Answer Mode
With G-Snap!, it's easy to host a Q&A session with a celebrity guest without feeling like you're losing control over the questions coming from the public.
Or perhaps, you're at a conference capturing a Q&A session at the end of a keynote speech. G-Snap! is a great tool to help you not only capture the information but it also displays it in a way that makes it easy for readers to digest your information - whether live or later on.
Here are a few sample features:
- Take questions from the public and answer only the questions you see fit
- Assign questions to your trusted viewer(s) for them to answer. This is great when you have a topic expert with you.
