There are two different ways to interact with the panelists (includes the faculty and moderators) during the webinar.

When you are logged in to the webinar, at the bottom half of your screen, you will see a chat and Q&A icon. You may have to hover your mouse over the screen for them to appear.

The speakers will open up for questions periodically during their lectures or may do so at the end of each lecture.

The Chat function is a way you can send a question to all of the panelists, which includes the speakers and the moderators. This chat is only visible to the panelists.

The Q&A function allows you to send a question to the panelists, which can be done anonymously if you choose. Panelists can type an answer privately to you, can answer verbally for all attendees, or can publicly type an answer so that both the question and answer are visible to all attendees. The Q&A function is the best way to ask questions of the speaker.
