Most all-hands meetings end with awkward silence when the host says "any questions?" Amphioo fixes that. Employees submit questions from their phones, upvote the ones that matter, and leadership answers the real concerns — not just the loudest voice in the room.
What's Broken About Town Halls Today
Only extroverts speak up. Junior staff, remote employees, and non-native speakers rarely raise a hand.
Best questions get buried. The first person to speak sets the agenda, not the most important topic.
Anonymous feedback is awkward. "DM me later" isn't a strategy.
Hybrid is painful. Remote attendees get last pick for questions and no engagement.
How Amphioo Solves It
1. Live Q&A with upvoting
Attendees submit questions from their phones by scanning a QR code. Everyone else can upvote. The most important question floats to the top — not the one from the most senior person in the room. Moderators can pin critical questions, reply inline, and mark questions as answered.
2. Anonymous mode
Toggle "Anonymous responses" on a Q&A session and names are hidden from other attendees. Employees feel safe asking hard questions about strategy, compensation, layoffs, or management — the questions you actually need to hear.
3. Moderation queue
Enable "question filtering" and every question goes to a pending queue for a moderator to approve, reject, or edit before it's visible. Critical for large companies, public town halls, or regulated industries where you can't let everything through raw.
4. Instant polls for sentiment
Drop a pulse poll mid-meeting: "How confident are you in our Q2 roadmap?" Five-second vote, live animated bar chart on the projector, real answer captured. Poll results update in real time via SSE — no refresh, no lag.
5. Projector mode for stage screens
A full-screen projector view designed for conference room displays. Shows the featured Q&A question big and readable, with next/prev navigation for the host. New-question alerts pop up with an optional sound cue so the host never misses a submission.
A Sample Town Hall Flow
T-minus 1 week: Create a new event in Amphioo with two sessions — a Q&A and a Poll.
T-minus 1 day: Share the event code or QR in Slack/Teams so people can pre-submit questions.
Start of meeting: Put the QR on a slide. Attendees scan and join — no app, no signup.
During the talk: Let upvoting sort the queue. Run a pulse poll at the end of each section.
Q&A section: Open projector mode. Walk through the top-voted questions. Pin any critical ones. Mark as answered as you go.
After: Enable "view after end" so people can browse the session read-only. Export to CSV for follow-ups.
Tip: Turn on "max questions per person" (set to 3) to prevent a single loud voice from dominating the queue.
Q&A Settings That Matter for Town Halls
Anonymous responses — hide names for psychological safety
Question filtering — moderator approval queue
Allow comments — let colleagues add context to a question
Allow votes — surface the most important questions
New question alert — audible ping on the projector
Display by: Top Voted — keep the best questions visible
