Teams Town Hall Q&A with Large in person audiences

Is anyone else struggling to offer q&a for large broadcasts with lots of rooms dialling with in-person large audiences?

Currently, for anyone in large groups watching a Town Hall together in a large room, people need to join the Town Hall themselves on their phone. This can cause disturbances as their speaker may be on, and then it does take quite a few screen swipes to get to the q&a section. This is also true for any presenters on a stage who need to view a question/moderate.

Our current solution is to use slido as it provides a nice qr code that takes people straight to the section they can ask a question, with no risk of disturbance, as well as a good login method for on stage moderation for an MC. Other times we just use a separate teams chat and an ipad.

I would love to be able to use the native Q&A function, especially because it locks peoples teams identity to the question. I.e no anonymous.

It would be amazing if their was a separate link/qr code people could scan/follow to view just the Q&A function, or chat function. Without showing the town hall output.
