Your audience can ask from their own device, without interrupting your presentation. Questions, raised hands, and feedback appear alongside your slides.
Your audience joins in a browser. No download needed.
When someone has something to say, you’ll know. See the question they almost kept to themselves, the raised hand, and the moment that needs another explanation.
“Why doesn’t being in the habitable zone guarantee liquid water?”3 people are wondering, too
People can ask in the moment and upvote questions they’re wondering about too. You can see which questions matter to more of the room.
Keep raised hands in view and acknowledge each person with a click. Bring them into the conversation when you’re ready.
A quick understanding check gives you a sense of the room. See when it’s time to move ahead or spend another minute.
For your audience
Make participation feel more approachable.
Keep names out of the live discussion so the focus stays on the question.
Let participants compose a question at their own pace, without interrupting your presentation.
For you
Guide the discussion with clear controls.
Choose to approve questions and participant replies before they appear in the discussion.
Presenters can privately check who submitted a question. Each check requires a reason and records who accessed it and when.
How it works
From slides to video calls, Inquiry’s desktop overlay keeps questions and raised hands in view.
Create a course for a regular group, or an event for a one-time gathering.
Share a link, code, or QR code. Your audience joins in a browser on their own devices.
Start the desktop overlay, then return to your slides or meeting. New questions and raised hands stay in view.
Where Inquiry fits
Whether you’re teaching a class, guiding an exercise, or speaking to a crowd, see who’s asking, where people are stuck, and when it’s time to keep going.
Let students type the question they might not ask aloud, and see when the class needs another explanation.
Find the sticking point before the next exercise, then check whether the group is ready to move on.
See questions and raised hands as they come in, without leaving your slides or breaking the flow of your talk.
Before you get started
No. You can allow guests or require an account for each session. Either way, people join in a browser using your link, code, or QR code. There’s nothing for them to install.
They open a simple session page in their browser. From there, they can ask or upvote questions, raise a hand, and share how well they’re following along while you present.
You can enable automatic moderation for each session to screen questions and replies with OpenAI and an English profanity filter. Flagged submissions stay private for presenter review. You can also require approval for every submission.
Names stay out of the live question and reply threads. Presenters can privately reveal an author by giving a reason, and every reveal is logged. Raised hands show a name so you know who to call on.
