Request Host and Co-Hosts can Raise Hand

Feature Requests
1

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using Zoom, the host and co-host are controlling screen sharing and muting and unmuting but they are not speaking. As a result, the host and co-hosts need to raise their hand but are unable to. They need to log in with a second device to raise their hand.

Describe the solution you’d like
Please allow the host and co-hosts to raise their hand.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered
The only solution at the moment is to log in with a second device.

Additional context

Thank you Yonathan,

We need this feature too.
Host or Co-host no need to use two devices for raise hand feature.

Can you make this setting for zoom meetings?

We really appreciate your hardwork for make this feature available for us. :slight_smile:

Same here. For “round table” discussions, the host has no right to speak any more than anyone else. They should be given the opportunity to raise their hand to speak, otherwise they run the risk of interrupting (or have to log in on a second device, which is awkward).

This feature lends to allowing a non-host participant to take the lead in a section of a meeting.

A host can then raise his hand and give a comment after a non-host participant calls on him.

This feature would be really useful!

Hi
we need this feature too!
Host and cohosts need to raise their hands too, why don’t allow it with an option in settings?

Thanks

This would be super useful, many times the host or cohost is not the one speaking and wants to share a thought. He cannot simply start talking while someone else is talking…

In meetings often the (true) host is not the zoom host,
but a technical capable person is the zoom host, who opens microphones and so on.
That person should be able to raise their hand to, to participate to the meeting.
Now the only alternative is to connect with a second device.
But overall thanks to the zoom team, for a very useful tool.

Yes, this feature would be great to have. Are there plans to add it?

It is more than necessary to have this option. As long as host and co-hosts take part in discussions (they do!) it is a must that they should have this option.

We would appreciate this feature as well.
Our meetings are held in sign language, so they are very visual and technically complex to handle. For example with the microphones of 30 to 40 deaf people all muted there is no auto spotlight, so someone has to take care of that. That is enough of a task for one person, so streaming teaching video content is assigned to another person, and someone keeps an eye on the waiting room and participants that may require technical assistance. All of these nice people need to be Co-Hosts and without the raise hand feature sadly their valuable input on the topic at hand is sometimes overseen in meetings.

This is a very important feature, that hits me at nearly every presentation I attend. (About 5 per day).

Hi everyone.
We are happy to see this feature implemented in today‘s update to 5.4.7. Thank you very much!
We noticed a minor glitch on Mac clients in connection with this change: The keyboard shortcut (alt+y) does no longer work. On windows 10 the shortcut still works after the update.

This would be too valuable, commonly the host or cohost isn’t the one talking and needs to share an idea. He can’t just beginning talking while another person is talking…

How much interest does a feature need before it’s implemented?

Please, let hosts and co-hosts raise their hands!

We really need this feature too. I can see it was meant to have been implemented, but this doesn’t seem to have changed anything for us.
