Zoom<\/span> is available on <\/span>Windows<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Mac<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Android<\/span><\/a> devices, and <\/span>iPhone<\/span><\/a>. This means that people can connect regardless of their device.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes in a group meeting on <\/span>Zoom<\/span>, you will find that you either have a question or add something to the conversation. <\/span>Zoom<\/span> has made a provision for this by adding a \u2018<\/span>raise hand<\/span>\u2019 option within the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that by using the \u2018<\/span>raise hand<\/span>\u2019 function in <\/span>Zoom<\/span>, you can alert the <\/span>host<\/span> that you have a question or comment, and they can then address it once it is convenient. The <\/span>host<\/span> will see the list of participants who raised their hands in the order they were raised, making it easy to respond.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, sometimes the <\/span>host<\/span> of the meeting might disable the function<\/span>, and then you will be unable to raise your hand during the meeting. The <\/span>host<\/span> will never be able to raise their hand<\/span> during a meeting as they are running the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n
