President Barack Obama will answer questions in a Google + “Fireside Hangout” on Thursday, two days after he delivers the State of the Union address to Congress.

Obama’s Google Hangout is scheduled for Thursday at 4:50 p.m. ET. It will livestream on the White House Google+ profile and its YouTube channel.

Questions can be submitted to the White House YouTube channel by 11:59 p.m. ET Wednesday. You can also vote on questions submitted by others.

A group of participants will be able to ask President Obama their own questions in addition to those submitted by the public.

This is the second time President Obama has done a post- State of the Union Google Hangout.

Last month Vice President Joe Biden also did a Google Hangout where he discussed reducing gun violence.
