The raise hand feature in meetings and webinars allows meeting participants, attendees, panelists, co-hosts, and the host to raise their hands to indicate that they need something from the host, co-host, or other panelists. As a host, it may be helpful to inform your participants how you would like to use this feature at the start of the meeting or webinar. For example, many webinar hosts use this feature to know if an attendee has a question and would like to be unmuted to speak.
