Why Add PresEngage to Zoom?
Q&A Beyond Zoom Chat
Zoom chat gets noisy and lost. Questions asked in the PresEngage side-panel stay organized and are answered by AI instantly.
AI Answers in Real Time
Your AI Co-Presenter handles Q&A automatically, answering from your content while you focus on presenting.
100+ Languages
International Zoom calls? Attendees can ask in their own language, and the AI answers in 100+ languages.
Private to the Room
Unlike Zoom chat, side-panel questions are private to the room: other participants don't see who asked or what they asked, unless you feature a question, which shows it to everyone with the asker's name. Shy participants engage freely without fear of judgment.
Works for All Participants
No PresEngage account required. Attendees use the side-panel in Zoom, or scan a QR code or open the join link to engage in their browser on any device.
Post-Meeting Analytics
Audience Intelligence shows engagement and the questions asked for each presentation, and, on request once at least 5 questions are in, the key themes and top questions.

Participants ask questions from the Zoom side-panel or scan the QR code to engage in their browser while watching your meeting. AI responds instantly with answers grounded in your content.
Fill Zoom's Q&A Gap
Zoom's built-in Q&A works, but it has limitations. Questions get lost in chat, shy attendees don't participate, and non-English speakers struggle. PresEngage solves all of these.
- Available on the Zoom App Marketplace -- or run it with zero installs
- Side-panel questions stay organized -- never lost in chat scroll
- Questions stay private to the room unless you feature one -- so people ask honestly
- AI answers instantly in 100+ languages, breaking every barrier
- Works from any browser through the join link -- no PresEngage account required
- Download participants as a CSV for your CRM after the call
- Engagement continues after the Zoom meeting ends
Ask your Zoom audience a question from your phone
Send a multiple-choice or open-text question from your phone, one at a time, and it appears in the PresEngage side panel for attendees who use it, on plans that include the Zoom side panel. You choose when the results show. See live polls from your phone for how it works and where it stops.

Zoom's built-in Q and A, and where PresEngage adds to it
If you searched for Zoom Q and A, you probably want Zoom's own feature, so here is what it does. As of 2026-11-06, Zoom's support pages say participants ask questions during the meeting, and the host and co-hosts open Q&A from the meeting controls to answer them out loud, in writing or privately, dismiss them, and generate a Q&A report afterwards.
As of 2026-11-06, Zoom says an account owner or admin turns Q&A on for meetings in Account Settings and the host ticks it as a meeting option when scheduling, on a Zoom Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus or Education account. As of 2026-11-06 Zoom also says Q&A is available in webinars, where the host must be a licensed user with the Webinar add-on and Q&A cannot be used inside webinar breakout rooms.
As of 2026-11-06, Zoom's Q&A pages describe people answering. PresEngage adds an AI Co-Presenter in the Zoom 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.
Zoom Q&A and PresEngage in Zoom
Both describe the same job, taking questions during a Zoom meeting. The Zoom column comes from Zoom's support pages as of 2026-11-06.
| Feature | PresEngage | Zoom Q&A |
|---|---|---|
| Who answers | An AI Co-Presenter answers from your presentation. What your material does not cover goes back to you in the Messaging Center. | The host and co-hosts, out loud, in writing or privately, and Zoom’s page describes no AI that answers attendees from your material (as of 2026-11-06). |
| What attendees need | The side panel in the Zoom desktop or web client, or the join link on any device. No PresEngage account to create. | A seat in the meeting. The host or an admin must have turned Q&A on, on a Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus or Education account (as of 2026-11-06). |
| Where questions live after the meeting | Your Messaging Center, plus a continuation email to participants when you end a session on the free, Present Online or Present Everywhere plan. | A Q&A report the host can generate after the meeting (as of 2026-11-06). |
| Languages | Attendees ask in their own language, and the AI answers in 100+ languages. | The Q&A help pages do not mention language support (as of 2026-11-06). |
Zoom Q and A: common questions
Where is Q and A in Zoom?
As of 2026-11-06, Zoom says the host turns Q&A on as a meeting option when scheduling and, once it is on, the host and co-hosts open it from Q&A in the meeting controls while participants ask there. As of 2026-11-06 Zoom also says that if the option is missing, it has been disabled at the account level and your administrator has to turn it on. As of 2026-11-06 Zoom also lists a Zoom Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus or Education account as the requirement for Q&A in meetings, so Basic and Pro accounts are not on that list.
Is there a Zoom Q and A tool with AI answers?
Not in Zoom's Q&A itself: as of 2026-11-06, Zoom's help pages describe the host and co-hosts answering out loud, in writing or privately. As of 2026-11-06 Zoom's separate AI Companion meeting questions let a participant ask about what was said in the meeting, from its speech-to-text, and only about content discussed while it is active. PresEngage adds an AI Co-Presenter in the Zoom 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.
Do attendees need a Zoom account to ask?
Not to use the join link. As of 2026-11-06, Zoom says people invited to use a Zoom App must install and authorize it before they can use it, so anyone who is not signed in to Zoom uses the join link or scans the QR code and asks in any browser. No PresEngage account is needed either way.
Which PresEngage plans include the Zoom 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 Zoom and in any other call.
Does it work on the Zoom web client?
Yes. The PresEngage side panel works in the Zoom desktop client and in the Zoom web client.
What do people on a phone do in a Zoom meeting?
They use the join link or scan the QR code on your shared Audience Connect slide, and they ask in their phone's browser. The side panel is for people joining from a computer.
What happens after the meeting?
Questions stay in your PresEngage Messaging Center, where you read every question and answer and can reply to anyone. When you end a Zoom 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, Zoom says the host can generate a Q&A report after the meeting.
Can I share my screen with a QR code instead of installing the app?
Yes. Put the Audience Connect slide on your screen share, attendees scan its QR code with a phone and ask in their browser, and the AI answers there. It needs no install and no admin approval.
Also run Google Meet calls? See Google Meet Q&A with AI answers.
PresEngage is available on the Zoom App Marketplace — install it to run AI Q&A right in the Zoom side-panel. Prefer zero installs? Share your screen with the QR code slide and attendees connect in their browser — no app or admin approval required. In-person rooms can add optional pay-per-use SMS.
