About the Raise Hand feature

Audience members in main stage sessions and panels can’t normally turn on their camera or microphone.

But in certain configurations, they might have the Raise Hand option, which provides an opportunity for them to join the discussion on screen. When an attendee clicks the hand icon, it asks the speaker or moderator for permission to turn on their camera or microphone.

If the Raise Hand feature is enabled, you can instruct attendees to click the hand icon in the lower-left corner of the session window.
