What is the Questions and Answers Feature On TikTok?
The new TikTok Q&A feature is an option that allows creators to make a response to their followers’ questions in the form of a video reply.
TikTok’s Q&A is yet another feature implemented on the TikTok app to help creators boost their results and engagement with audiences.
Using the TikTok Q&A feature allows followers to connect with their favorite creators in a unique way.
When creators respond to questions, they can dive deeper and connect better with viewers looking forward to receiving answers from the people they admire on the platform.
How to Use the Question and Answer Feature (As a Viewer)
If you are a viewer, you can ask questions and hope for responses from creators who have enabled the TikTok Q&A feature.
In order to use TikTok Q&A, the TikTok app must be updated to the latest version on your mobile phone, so without further ado, let’s learn how to use it.
Step 1: Go to a TikTok Live Stream
The easiest way to make questions through Q&A is to do so on a Live Stream. Therefore, open TikTok, and go to the Live section.
Surf the streams from all users, and proceed with the one you like the most.
Step 2: Tap the Comment Section
After you open the video stream, tap on the comment section. It is worth noting that before making a question, the creator must turn on Q&A first.
Step 3: Select the Question Mark Icon And Ask Questions to the Creator
Now, select the speech bubble icon with the question mark, and ask your question. Then, wait for the TikTok creator to respond.
They might get a lot of questions from their viewers, so waiting for responses might take more than normal.
Alternative: Tap the Q&A Icon On a Creator Profile
Creators who turn on Q&A have a new section under their bio that says “Q&A.” You can search for their account, tap on that icon, and ask the question there.
This lets them perform pre-recorded video replies easily. This way, users can also make comments and questions to their creators even if they are not currently live.
