UNBELIEVABLE: Google meet can now recognize when you raise your hand via ai here s how it works - The Untold Story

Computer and smartphone showing Google Meet app logo.

Back in March Google announced that it would be rolling out a Google Meet feature that lets you activate the hand raise feature by raising your actual hand. Now the new AI-powered feature is here, giving you the ability to draw attention to yourself without ever touching your mouse.

The feature itself is really self-explanatory. All you have to do is raise your hand within view of the camera and away from your body and face. That way you don’t trigger it accidentally because you had an itchy nose. It’s also disabled for active speakers, to avoid accidentally setting off the feature by gesticulating a little too wildly.
