This is basically how IETF meetings function: At the beginning of every session, a volunteer "jabber scribe" is selected to watch the chat and relay any questions to a microphone in the room. And the video streaming platform has a "virtual queue" that remove participants can enter and the session chairs are then responsible for giving people a chance to speak. Works reasonably well, I'd say :) -Toke
