Are there rules around QOTD?

To quote from a famous improvisational comedy TV show ... "the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter." That's how we like to think about Question Of The Day! There is no "right" way to go about asking and answering questions. Some questions provide more structure than others however it is up to you and your team to decide if you want to have specific time, rules, or boundaries with any of your questions!

Where do you get your questions from?

Great question ;) Our list of questions is constantly evolving and is a combination of a list we've built over the years, questions from friends and family, questions from the inter-webs, and AI. 

Can I use QOTD with Microsoft Teams?

Currently Question Of The Day is only available to use with Slack.
