Google Meet will now detect when you have finished speaking in a video meeting

Google is making its video conferencing platform– Google Meet– more intuitive with an improved hand raising feature. Participants of Google Meet video calls can now notice users who have raised their hands easily with a new icon. Also, if you have raised your hand to speak during a Meet video call, Google will automatically detect when you have finished speaking and then automatically lower your hand in that call. So, even if you forget to turn off the raise hand option, Google will automatically do it for you so that other participants can continue with the meeting.

This update will be available for enterprise users and other GSuite subscribers. Free Google account holders may not get this feature just yet.
