This guide will teach you how to Raise Your Hand on Zoom using a phone or computer.
Zoom is a widely used virtual conference software used by virtually every enterprise today. However, not every user is aware of all of Zoom’s features.
One of these characteristics is the ability to raise one’s hands”. So, for example, you can raise your hand to indicate to the meeting host that you have some questions without interfering with the flow of the conference. When using the “raise hands” option, a small raise hand icon appears beside your Zoom username to indicate that you intend to speak.
Info: If you’re a meeting host, you can not use the “raise hand” feature. Only Zoom meeting participants can use it to signal the host.
