Features of Hand Raise Gesture
- To use gesture recognition to raise your hand, ensure the feature is switched on in your settings and your camera is on.
- In a video call, you can raise your hand with your hand. When you raise your hand, the highlighted Hand Raise icon shows up, and everyone on the call can see it.
- A short “Raise your hand” message shows up when you raise your hand. The Hand raise feature stops working when you lower your hand while the message shows.
- You must be able to see one hand and keep it away from your face and body for this function to work.
- When you speak in a meeting, gesture recognition is turned off. Gesture recognition starts up again when you’re not talking on the call.
Google Meet can now detect when you raise your hand
Google Meet now lets you raise your hand in a video call with a cool new gesture feature! When you raise your hand, the system detects it and shows a hand raise icon to let others know you have a question. This awesome AI-powered feature, first announced in March, works best when your hand is visible to the camera and not covering your face or body. Just hold your hand up for a few seconds, and voila! The hand raise icon appears in your video window, and you’re moved to the main grid so moderators can see you want to speak. Get ready to show off your virtual hand-raising skills
