Attendees can use the Raise Hand feature as a signal to get the attention of the organizer, or to answer impromptu polls during a webinar. It can be used in multiple ways according to the discretion of the webinar organizer. Some use cases are listed below.
Possible use cases
Recommended Best Practice
The organizer can clearly state the use case before prompting the attendees to use Raise Hand to avoid confusion.
How it works
Attendees can click Raise Hand on the webinar toolbar to use this feature. When an attendee raises their hand, the organizer sees a hand icon next to the name of the hand raiser in the attendee's list (see image above). The organizer can reply to their questions in Q&A or let them speak using Allow to talk.
To let an attendee speak:
To create a poll:
Click Webinars on the left pane.
Click the webinar for which you wish to create polls.
Scroll and Click Add poll in the Engagement section
4. Enter the poll question and select the type of poll you want to create:
Single choice
Multiple choice
Star Rating
5. Add your questions, answers, or ratings:
Multiple choice: Use a multiple choice poll to let your audience choose from a set of answers. You can add a maximum of five multiple choice answers and let your audience choose multiple answers in the poll.
Star rating: Use a star rating poll to let your audience indicate how much they like a feature, product, session and more. You choose to let the audience rate out of three, five, or ten stars. You can also define the star rating scales by entering the scale labels (optional).
6. Click Add. Repeat this for every other question you want to ask your audience.
To edit a poll:
Click Webinars on the left pane.
Click the webinar that contains the poll you need to edit.
Click the Edit icon next to the poll question to make any changes.
Once the changes are complete, click Update.

Webinar attendees can ask questions and receive answers through the Q&A tab.

They can also add more information to an answer that's already given by clicking Answer button again.

Only the organizer and co-organizers can see all the questions and answers in a webinar. Other attendees or attendees who have been made presenters (using the Make Presenter feature) can see only the questions they ask and the questions that are made public.
