Raise your hand if you’ve ever been in a Teams meeting where you’ve needed to share a picture of your cat but couldn’t find a way into the conversation.

Using the Raise function allows you to share your interest with the rest of your workgroup before diving straight into a conversation. On the toolbar at the top of your meeting window, clicking the Raise button will alert other participants that you would like to speak.

When you would like to put your hand down, simply click on the Raise button again.

For more detailed information about this function, watch Microsoft’s YouTube video.
