Bigbluebutton: Easier way to access "raise hand"-function

Created on 3 May 2020 · 4Comments · Source: bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton

I have the following problem: To use the "raise hand"-function, you always have to go to the corresponding submenu with 3 clicks. This is quite cumbersome and time consuming.
I also believe that this feature is used very often and is important for productive metings.

What do you think about integrating this function immediately available as a button next to hang up and microphone mute?

Also a directly accessible button at another position would be conceivable. I would personally prefer the position mentioned above, however...

We've been working on improving the emoji icons in the next release (BigBlueButton 2.3) of BigBlueButton.

We'll be sharing some of the designs soon.

I think this would clutter the user interface. We only use this symbol in small groups. With bigger groups we ask persons to use the chat to indicate that they want to speak. This way we also see who wanted to speak first etc.
