Raise Hand
During a meeting or presentation, you may have a question or a clarifying remark to share, but can’t find the opportunity to speak. Use the Raise Hand option to let meeting participants know you have something to say. This is helpful when you want to:

Create a more inclusive discussion
Give quieter participants a clear way to contribute
Keep larger meetings organized
Help hosts and moderators manage speaking turns
To raise a hand during a meeting, select the Raise Hand icon in the Meetings Control bar. This adds you to the queue of those who raise their hand.
To lower a hand, select the Lower Hand icon. This removes you from the queue of raised hands.
For meeting hosts, you can see who has raised their hand and when to make sure everyone is heard and gets a turn to speak.

To access the host menu, select Host Controls.
