Raise your hand in a Teams meeting
During a meeting, you can raise your hand virtually to let people know you want to contribute without interrupting the conversation.
Raise your hand
In the meeting controls at the top of the screen, select Raise your hand 
. Everyone in the meeting will see that your hand is raised.
Meeting presenters will also receive a notification that your hand is raised. In meetings where attendees can't unmute themselves, a presenter can allow you to unmute.
Tip: In addition to raising your hand, you can also choose from four live reactions to express yourself during a meeting.
See who has their hand raised
Select People 
in the meeting controls at the top of the screen to see a list of everyone in the meeting. Anyone whose hand is raised will have a hand icon next to their name. If multiple people have their hands up, their names will be numbered to show, in order, who raised their hand earlier.
Return to Reactions
