Breakroom's conference system allows users to [direct questions](https://docs.breakroom.tech/getting-started/using-the-conference-system#submitting-questions) to your event management team. This functionality can be used to facilitate question-and-answer sessions, keep crowds hyped and engaged, or streamline user support—the choice is yours.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you prefer to use your own system for tracking questions, or if you want to replace the audience question function with a feedback form, polls, etc., you can do so using the [Participation button ](https://docs.breakroom.tech/running-your-event/moderator-tools/participation)located in the moderator tools.

When a new audience question has been submitted, Moderators will be alerted by the appearance of a **green dot** next to the Audience questions button in the moderator toolbar.

Clicking the **Audience questions button** will open the Submitted Questions window. Questions can then reviewed and addressed individually, by any means that is appropriate. A content question may be presented to a guest speaker, while a request for help may be addressed via direct text message.

Clicking the relevant **Delete button** will remove the question from the Submitted Questions window.
