Raise Hand
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.
Allow to talk
Let attendees speak in a webinar using the “Allow to talk” feature. Attendees can also share their webcam videos using the “Allow to talk with video” feature. Attendees can share their questions or thoughts with everyone in a webinar once the organizer or a co-organizer grants permission to speak.
