Google Introduces Slides Q&A to Help Presenters Connect with their Audiences

Google has found a new way to help presenters communicate better with their audience. The company has launched Slides Q&A globally during a real time presentation by allowing them to ask questions from their mobile, laptops or tablets. The new feature is competitor for Slides and PowerPoint.

According to Google, the new feature was tasted during a presentation by Google Science Fair winner Shree Bose at its New York office. She talked in front of 200 middle-school students generated 170 questions and 800 votes.

How It Works:

Presenters who are using the new feature will see a button in the Slides presenter view to kick off a Q&A session. On mobile phones, this feature will be behind the “audience tools” button. After that, a link to the custom Q&A for this presentation will appear above the presentation.

Google is also enhancing the feature of Slides Q & A by allowing speakers to present without the hassle of mics and moderators. The company said that they are currently improving this in two ways for a better and convenient experience.

Besides the Q&A feature, Google also added two new features to Slides that should make giving presentations with the service a bit easier. The first is the ability to present slides to Hangout from an iPhone and iPad; the second is the introduction of a virtual laser pointer on the web for those who present from a computer.

The updates are rolling out globally to the Slides apps on iOS and Android now.
