Q&A button missing in Meeting SDK Component View for Webinar

We are currently integrating the Zoom Meeting SDK for Web using Component View to embed a webinar experience in our application.

We noticed a recent issue where the native Q&A button is no longer visible in the UI, even though it was previously available without any changes on our side.

Details:

- SDK type: Meeting SDK for Web (Component View)

- SDK version: 5.0.2 (also tested with latest CDN behavior)

- Webinar is correctly configured with Q&A enabled in Zoom settings

- Role: attendee (role = 0)

- No changes were made to our integration code

Observed behavior:

- The Q&A button does not appear in the embedded UI

- Other features (chat, participants, etc.) are working as expected

Expected behavior:

- Based on the zoom documentation:

Q&A is listed as supported in Component View for webinars

- The Q&A button should be visible in the UI, as it was previously

Questions:

1. Has there been any recent change in Component View that affects Q&A UI visibility?

2. Is Q&A still expected to be rendered in Component View UI, or is it now intentionally limited?

3. Are there any configuration flags or conditions required to enable Q&A in Component View?

4. Is this behavior expected going forward, or is it a regression?

Does anyone know the relevant information? Thank you very much !!! hope for anyone’s feedback ~

i also tested it (used the same td and joined the same webinar , here is also no q&a section on Zoom official Web Client .
Has anyone else had the same experience?

We’ve been having this problem for the past two weeks. We initially thought we were doing something wrong, but now it seems others are experiencing the same issue too, haha.

So we’re a bit confused, according to the docs, the Component View is supposed to support Q&A, but it’s not showing up on our side.

aha!!! let’s wait for the response together !!!

Same here, adding another data point in case it helps get this escalated.

Component View (ZoomMtgEmbedded), joining a webinar as an approved registrant/attendee. Join succeeds, audio/video and the standard footer controls (mute, raise hand, closed captions, etc.) all render — but the Q&A control is simply absent:

  • No Q&A button in the toolbar after join.
  • No Q&A panel anywhere in the DOM — not even a collapsed/zero-height element.
  • EmbeddedClient exposes no getQAClient / askQuestion, so we can’t open Q&A from our own UI either.

The same webinar shows Q&A normally in the Zoom web/desktop client, so it’s enabled on the session itself, this is specific to Component View.

Could a Zoom dev-support member confirm whether Component View webinar Q&A is currently expected to work, and on which SDK versions? Given the docs list it as supported and several of us are seeing it disappear, it would help to know if this is a known regression, a config/entitlement requirement, or a docs mismatch. Happy to provide a minimal repro and redacted init/join config.
