Disable raise hand option in zoom meeting. Host should have the ability to control this else it becomes very troubling

My meeting is getting inundated with trolls and “zoom bombers”. They use the Raise Hand feature to put themselves on the top of everyone’s screen and then display disturbing video.

Can you please add a security setting that allows a host to disable the ability of participants to use the Raise Hand feature?

I want my meeting to be open to legitimate users and don’t want to lock it or make it private in any way.

Zoom should act on this immediately as Bombers are swamping meetings and raising hands during main speaker sharings. They also raise and lower hands many times one after the other to create a very annoying distraction. Hurry Up!!! ZOOM !!

There have been requests to disable the raise hand feature in regular meetings for YEARS now! We need it to handle rapid hand raising and lowering by disruptors. When can we expect this to be added, please?

I’ve seen it in the community section where some users claimed that it’s possible for host and co-host to hide the “Raise hand option”. You can find it here :https://community.zoom.com/t5/Zoom-Events-and-Webinars/Remove-Raise-Hand-Button/td-p/27869

You might find your solution there.

Nope. Only for webinars, I believe.
Unless you or someone can tell me how to do it.
