WebEx stands out as a favored platform for video conferencing, enabling individuals to connect and work together from different locations. A notable function within WebEx is the option for attendees to signal by raising their hand during a session, beneficial for attracting the presenter’s attention or posing inquiries. Nevertheless, the simultaneous raising of hands by several participants can occasionally be a diversion or not required.
Disabling Raise Hand in WebEx
If you want to disable the raise hand feature in WebEx, there are a few steps you can follow. First, open the WebEx meeting and click on the “Participants” tab at the top of the screen. From there, select the participant whose raise hand you want to disable and click on the three dots next to their name.
A drop-down menu will appear, and you can select “Disable Raise Hand” from the options. This will prevent that participant from being able to raise their hand during the meeting. If you want to re-enable the feature for that participant, simply go back to the Participants tab and select “Enable Raise Hand” from the drop-down menu.
Alternative Methods
If you don’t have access to the Participants tab or if you want to disable raise hand for all participants, there are a few alternative methods you can try. One option is to go to the “Settings” tab at the top of the screen and select “Meeting Options.” From there, you can select “Disable Raise Hand” from the options.
Another method is to use the WebEx chat feature. Simply type “/raisehand off” into the chat box and hit enter. This will disable raise hand for all participants in the meeting. To re-enable it, simply type “/raisehand on” into the chat box.
Conclusion
Disabling raise hand in WebEx can be a useful feature if you want to prevent distractions or unnecessary interruptions during a meeting. By following these simple steps, you can easily disable raise hand for individual participants or for the entire meeting.
