When you prepare to present as a speaker, it helps to know what attendees see and what they can send you.
#image# A session page as attendees see it, with About Session, Session Speakers, Live Session and Session Files
Open your session from Sessions or My Agenda. Attendees see the same page, in this order:
Attendees may also see buttons such as Add to Agenda, RSVP, Check in and Rate this session.
Go through this list a few days ahead:
#image# A speaker page as attendees see it, with photo, About, the Sessions list and Files
Open Speakers and search for your name. Attendees see your photo, social links, position, country, About, a Sessions list and your Files. Private sessions aren't listed there.

When your organiser has turned on Live QA for the session, attendees open the Live Poll and QA panel and type in Ask a question.... They can switch on As Anonymous to hide their name.
Ask your organiser how they'll pass questions to you during the talk, for example whether a moderator will read them out.
Your organiser creates and runs polls. Attendees vote from the Polls button or the same panel. If the poll is set to show results, attendees see the vote counts and percentages after voting. If you want a poll in your talk, send the question and options to your organiser beforehand.
For the attendee's side of each step, see How Attendees Can Use Live Q&A, Polls and Session Discussions and How Attendees Can Check In to a Session and Rate It.
Attendees using the Eventify app see the same session details, Live Q&A and polls. As a speaker on the session, you get extra controls on its Live Q&A and poll screens in the app:

Agree with your organiser beforehand who will approve questions and run polls during your talk, so you don't both change the same settings.
Can attendees ask questions anonymously?
Yes. In the Live Poll and QA panel, attendees can switch on As Anonymous to hide their name.
Can I approve audience questions myself?
Yes, in the Eventify app. As a speaker on the session, you can Approve or Delete questions waiting for review and turn Auto Publish on or off.
When can attendees rate my session?
Your organiser decides: any time, after the session ends, or in the last few minutes of it.
Don't see this? Your organiser decides which features are switched on for your event and who can use them. See Why Attendees Can't See a Feature in the Event Portal.
