Hand Raising

Hand raising has been requested for years.  It's really hard to explain to people why we should use GoToMeeting over the privacy hole laden zoom product, when such a basic feature is not available.  ...

Hi schiras 

 

Hand raising is available to attendees joining a GoToMeeting through their web browser,  and we plan to roll it out to all users in a future update.

 

Hand raising requires the attendee to join the webinar or meeting using our software, if they are only dialing in by telephone they will not have the option. If you have attendees dialing in to the Panelist number but not joining via the software and entering their PIN, you will have trouble managing their audio. The best practice is to have these people join your webinar as regular attendees through our software and unmute them as necessary.

Hi Glenn,

thank you for your answer,  future update???
I think it will be too late for us. 
We are waiting for a long time (2013)  and we are forced to switch.

Browser-Web-Version is not stabile, slow and has problems with webcams. (Firefox ?)

 

kind regards

schiras

    schiras  Our web client is best in Chrome, but we plan to add Firefox support this year.

        hollosch  The current status of Hand-Raising functionality has not changed:  Currently only compatible when using the GoTo Web App from a desktop computer.

         

        For new updates around GoToMeeting functionality you can check out this support page with all the details: https://support.goto.com/meeting/help/whats-new-g2m010012

        Hand raising will be coming to the desktop software this year as well, but I do not have an ETA I can share just yet.
