For a "viewer" this would be nice to listen in on the audio aspects of the "presenter".

For a "presenter" as you noted above for Q&A that would be good to have or hear.

Actually, there is a "presentation" upload section for PDF and Power Point (or similar format) to show off slides to all.  Linux ETC had uploaded a UTM "quick start guide" to show this feature off to others.  This also includes some "white board" like features as well.  The catch is one has to be the "presenter" to upload the slides of course which is assigned or controlled by a "moderator" user.
