Barack Obama is to host a live Google+ 'Hangout' session next week.
The US president will field voters' questions about his State of the Union address via the social network on January 30.
Various members of Obama's administration will host their own video conferencing session throughout the week as part of the White House's extended coverage of Tuesday's annual address.
"The President is committed to creating a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration," read a statement from the White House.
"That's why President Obama and more than 25 members of his administration will be responding to your questions about the speech all week and talking about the issues that matter most to you."
Users hoping to question Obama are required to record it as a 30-second clip and upload it to the White House's YouTube page. Those selected will be invited to participate in the 'Hangout' in real-time.
Earlier this month, Obama's administration weighed in on the debate surrounding the controversial SOPA and PIPA anti-piracy bills, saying that any legislation that facilitates online censorship will not be supported.
Obama will make his State of the Union address to the United States Congress tomorrow.
