 While some live events are open to the public, others are meant for members of the Drexel community will require sign-in. When viewing an event from the Teams app, you are already signed-in. When viewing from the web, you may click the Sign in button then provide your account information just as you would to sign in to the Office.com service.

Once you are connected to the event, you’ll see a notice that the event hasn’t started yet and, if the event encourages audience feedback, a panel on the right to submit questions or comments. Click the Ask a question button then type your question. Note that although you may be signed in, there’s a checkbox that lets you submit the question anonymously.
