Google is seeding a new Hand Raise feature for Google Meet

Google Meet just got a bit more hands-on – literally! Now, you can jazz up your virtual meetings with a new gesture detection feature. Instead of the usual click, you can physically raise your hand to let everyone know you’ve got a burning question. It might seem like a small thing, but when you’ve spent the day glued to your screen, a little movement can be a game-changer.

Here’s the lowdown on how it works: keep your camera on, make sure your hand is visible (Google suggests keeping it a bit away from your face and body), and give it a little wave. Hold it there for a moment, and voila! Google Meet will recognize your raised hand and notify the rest of the gang. It’s a bit like being back in school, but who can resist a touch of nostalgia?
