Google Meet - Raise Your Hand

 

Starting on November 14 Google will be rolling out the Raise Hand feature.  This will allow Google Meet participants to virtually Raise Your Hand.  It will take a week to roll out to everyone.

This will help maintain order in large meetings where you cannot have multiple participants using the mic at the same time.

To raise your hand in Meet on the web, click on the “Raise Hand” button on the bottom bar during the meeting. Once the button is pressed, it will change to a “Lower Hand” button, which can be clicked to lower your hand. 

When a participant raises their hand, the meeting’s moderator will see a hand icon in their video preview. If they’re presenting in another tab, they’ll get a sound notification when someone raises their hand.

The moderator will also be able to see all raised hands in the order they were raised in the meeting participant list panel to help them address questions accordingly.
