Google Meet is improving its hand raising feature: Here’s how

Google Meet is improving its hand raising feature via an update. The update will make it easier for users to spot and acknowledge raised hands during a video conferencing session. This is courtesy of an improved visual icon and animation on the video tile.

In addition to this, the video calling platform will also place users with their hands raised to a more visible position during a session. Google started rolling out the new feature via an update on June 16 which is set to reach users in phases.
