Participate in Q&A
During a town hall, you can engage in Q&A, where you can post, reply, and react to questions. If the Q&A is moderated, you'll receive a notification that an organizer received your question and will review it before posting.

Access a town hall recording
After a town hall ends, the event organizers can choose to publish the event recording for attendees to watch. If a town hall recording is published, you'll automatically receive an email with a link to the recording.
By default, most event recordings expire after 30 days but can be extended by the organizer.
