We are glad to share the details of yet another roll-out in Zoho Meeting, this time, with some features that are sure to improve attendee participation in your webinars. These include Raise Hand, Allow to Talk, and the option to join webinars through the Zoho Meeting iOS app.The Give Control feature that lets any meeting participant take control over another participant's screen has been released for Mac PC users as well. Apart from this, we have made enhancements in our conferencing servers and fixed a few bugs for better performance.

Webinar Edition:

Raise hands

Your webinar attendees can now use the Raise hand feature to get the attention of the presenter during a webinar.

Allow attendees to talk

Organizers and co-organizers can now let any attendee speak during a webinar using the Allow to Talk option. The attendee's speech will be captured in the webinar recording, and organizers and co-organizers can revoke the permission to talk at any time.
