Summary

Attendees can use various non-verbal signals to indicate understanding, asking a question, and more.

Body

Reactions and Raise Hand can be used to help communicate non-verbally in a meeting, such as clapping, agreeing, or asking a question.

Reactions

To access nonverbal reactions, select Reactions in your Zoom menu bar.

Reactions include:

  • Thumbs Up
  • Clap
  • Laughter
  • Shock
  • Heart
  • Party Popper

These reactions stay up for a few seconds, then disappear. To react again, select the reaction.

Beneath the standard reactions, additional reactions can be found:

  • Yes/Agree
  • No/Disagree
  • Slow Down
  • Speed Up
  • Back in a Moment
  • Raise Hand

Unlike the standard reactions, these will remain active until they are selected again.

Raise and Lower Hand

Participants can virtually raise a hand, such as to signal a question. Those who raise their hand will be moved to the top of the participant list.

A hand raise will remain active until the hand is lowered by the participant, or a host/co-host from the participant list.
