Raise your Hand

During a meeting, you can raise your hand virtually to let people know you want to contribute without interrupting the conversation.

Raise your hand

In the meeting controls at the top of the screen, select Raise your hand . Everyone in the meeting will see that your hand is raised.

Lower your Hand

Teams can detect when you’ve spoken in the meeting, and you’ll be prompted to lower your hand or keep it raised. A notification will inform you that your hand will automatically be lowered once you’ve spoken, unless you choose to select Keep it raised.

If you haven’t yet spoken but want to lower your hand, return to the meeting controls at the top of your meeting view and select Raise your hand  to put your hand down.
