Tip 1: Viewing Order of Raised Hands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During your Teams meeting do you sometimes struggle to know whose hand was raised first? Use the participants pane to see the numbers next to each person with their hand up. You can easily view the order of raised hands without guessing or needing to ask who\u2019s next. Once participants have been acknowledged, they can use the \u2018Lower your hand\u2019 option or the meeting presenter can also lower a participant’s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Teams feature is so exciting and includes lots of benefits that allow participants signal that they want to talk without disrupting the meeting. This feature provides a simple, quick way to take a poll of meeting participants. It makes meetings more inclusive by encouraging participation from participants and allows anyone present to get a say.

Tip 2: Live Transcriptions in Team Meetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Live transcription is a written record of spoken text that occurs during a meeting. It identifies each speaker and captures automatically in near real-time. It is available during and after the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the three dots menu, you can turn on live captions during a meeting. The live transcription feature is not the same as live captions because you can\u2019t record captions. However, this feature will show captions with a name next to it and if anyone joins the meeting late, they can use live transcriptions to catch up on all they missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transcription automatically stops when all participants leave the meeting. Meeting organisers and presenters can also stop and restart transcriptions during a meeting.

Tip 3: Focus Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When participating in a Teams Meeting and someone is presenting and sharing content, from the three dots \u2026 you can choose \u2018Focus on content\u2019 so any other information in the Window is not a distraction. It hides all video feeds and only shows shared content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, note that besides the \u2018Focus on content\u2019 option you can also choose the \u2018Full screen\u2019 option to avoid even more desktop distractions. This Teams feature allows participants to pay close attention to content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
