Google Meet Q&A: what it does and where it stops

If you searched for Google Meet Q&A, you probably want Meet's own built-in feature, so here is what it does. As of 2026-11-06, Google's help page says anyone in a meeting can ask questions, the host can hide, delete or mark them answered, and the moderators get a questions report by email after the meeting. As of 2026-11-06 it lists Q&A for twelve Google Workspace editions, from Essentials and Business Standard to Enterprise Plus, Education Plus and Workspace Individual, and says a Workspace admin can switch it on or off for the whole organization.

As of 2026-11-06, that page describes no AI that answers for you, only questions that people answer and mark answered. PresEngage adds an AI Co-Presenter in the Meet side panel that answers attendees' questions, grounded in the presentation you uploaded, and hands anything your material does not cover back to you in the Messaging Center. Attendees ask in their own language, and the AI answers in 100+ languages.

Both describe the same job, taking questions during a Google Meet call. The Meet column comes from Google's help pages as of 2026-11-06.

Google Meet Q&A: common questions

• Does Google Meet have a Q&A feature?

  Yes. As of 2026-11-06, Google's help page says anyone in a meeting can ask questions, that the host can hide, delete or mark a question answered, and that a questions report is emailed to the moderators afterwards. As of 2026-11-06 it also says Q&A turns on automatically for every user except Google Workspace for Education, where the host turns it on during the meeting, and that a host can optionally hold each question until it is approved, from a computer only.

• Which Google Workspace editions include Meet Q&A?

  As of 2026-11-06, Google lists Essentials, Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, Teaching and Learning Upgrade, G Suite Business, Nonprofits and Workspace Individual, so Business Starter and free personal Google accounts are not on that list. As of 2026-11-06 Google also says a Workspace admin can switch the feature on or off for the whole organization. The list changes, so check it before you plan around it.

• Can AI answer questions in Google Meet?

  Not in Meet's own Q&A: as of 2026-11-06, Google's help page describes questions that people answer and mark answered, and no AI that answers them. As of 2026-11-06 Google's separate Ask Gemini in Meet lets a participant ask privately about what was said in the meeting, such as summaries and action items, on an eligible Workspace plan. PresEngage adds the missing piece in a side panel: your AI Co-Presenter answers attendees' questions, grounded in the presentation you uploaded, and hands anything your material does not cover back to you in the Messaging Center. Attendees ask in their own language, and the AI answers in 100+ languages.

• Does PresEngage need a Chrome extension for Google Meet?

  No. PresEngage is a Google Workspace Marketplace add-on, not a Chrome extension: install it once, then open it from the Meet toolbar and pick a presentation. If you would rather install nothing, share your screen on the Audience Connect slide, and attendees scan its QR code and ask in their own browser, with no app and no admin approval.

• Which PresEngage plans include the Google Meet side panel?

  The free plan, Present Online and Present Everywhere. Present In-Person does not include it. Every plan has the join link, which works in Meet and in any other call.

• What do people on a phone do in a Google Meet call?

  They use the join link: paste it into the meeting chat or show the QR code slide, and they ask in their phone's browser. The side panel is for people joining from a computer. As of 2026-11-06, Google's add-ons help page says add-ons can't be used by anyone who is not signed in with a Google Account, or in a live stream, and that not every add-on works on every platform, so the join link is the fallback.

• What happens to the questions after the call?

  They stay in your PresEngage Messaging Center, where you read every question and answer and can reply to anyone. When you end a Meet session, participants also get a continuation email so the conversation can go on, on the free plan, Present Online and Present Everywhere. As of 2026-11-06, Google says Meet's own Q&A sends a questions report to the moderators by email after the meeting, and that chat messages disappear when the meeting ends for guests from outside the host's organization and whenever continuous meeting chat is off or unavailable.
