This feature prevents unneeded and distracting interruptions that can derail or drag out a meeting. Just as if you were in a classroom, this button command allows a participant to notify the speaker that they have a question or comment to contribute.

If the host chooses to mute all other participants unless called upon, the "raise hand" feature can be implemented. Participants can alter their own preferences, but it is reassuring for a host to know that they have the capability of managing their group. The meeting host has options for controlling the participants' audio, video and screen-sharing settings. Zoom provides host controls to help make meetings run smoothly. Host controlsīeing able to direct a meeting remotely can be tricky. Files, images and screen captures can be shared here for reference in future meetings or to bring back something from a past meeting. These can be categorized for different groups or purposes and named accordingly. Chat channels can also be created for use outside of meetings.
