Organize and moderate with confidence

Town halls should be stress-free for organizers and seamless for participants. Zoho Connect provides tools that help you prepare and maintain order throughout your session.

  • Plan ahead with ease:
    Define the agenda, set the duration, and prepare speakers in advance for a smooth experience.

  • Moderate discussions professionally:
    Restrict video/audio when needed, remove inappropriate comments, and maintain a respectful space.

  • Keep questions organized:
    Use tagging and filtering tools to group employee queries and ensure that nothing important gets overlooked.

  • Vote, react, and contribute:
    Once questions are answered, employees can select the best answer, upvote, downvote, or add comments, making dialogue more democratic and transparent.

  • Offer on-demand access:
    Recordings with chapter markers allow employees to revisit sessions later and jump directly to the topics they care most about.
