Microsoft Teams Moderator for Q&A

If I understand your question correctly, then the answer is that there is no way to formally designate a "moderator" in regular Teams. It's a more interactive, casual environment, so imagine being in a conference room with your colleagues, except virtually - in that case you might just ask someone to answer any questions that arise.
You could note the moderator in the body of the invitation if you want everyone to know who will oversee the chat window. But basically, everyone in the meeting has equal access (not like in Live Event, where producers and presenters get different links and access to the back end). Does that answer the question for you? Adam, feel free to add your expertise if needed.
Thank you for being a member of the community.
adam deltinger I know Microsoft Team Live Event has this option. My question was for Microsoft Teams (not live event). When I set up a meeting in Microsoft Teams. I do not see a place to add someone to moderator the QNA.

ThereseSolimeno Yes, you are correct in the question I am asking about. Thank you! I really like Microsoft Teams vs Live Events for our 600-700 monthly Town Halls because Teams gives you a more connected feeling. Plus our speakers really like Teams and Zoom because they see the audience they are speaking to. With Live Events is live but no warm, collaboration feel with the attendees.

I agree JoAnnTaylor But if you want to speak to an audience of hundreds or thousands, Live Events is much more practical
