Google Meet introduces 5 practical “hands-on” news

Google Meet users, who may now include all people with regular access to Gmail for some occasions, can look forward to some handy gadgets. They have cleverly streamlined video calls and all relate to raising the “hands”. That is, a function that allows participants to report a word. There will be a total of five changes. They are gradually being introduced and so far, unfortunately, they will only apply to corporate Workspace accounts.

Changes for hands in Google Meet

• More visible icon and animation. The fact that someone is applying for a word will be made visible by a redesigned icon and also by a new animation.
• Move tiles with speakers. Participants who speak a word will be automatically moved up in the tiled view.
• Sound notification. The first lift of the hand of a particular participant will be accompanied by a new audible announcement.
• List of people reporting. The moderator will have at his disposal the number of participants with the hand raised and also the order of their requests to speak.
• Automatic hand download. When the called speaker speaks (or starts speaking), his or her request to speak will be automatically withdrawn.
