Raised hands not showing in Teams meeting

Anonymous

I've recently noticed the Raise Hand feature on several Teams meetings but found that today, I didn't have that icon on my menu bar. However, others in the meeting did have it and were raising their hands but I wasn't seeing any notification of it.

How can I make sure I always see the icon and can always see when others have their hands raised?

Many thanks :-)

    Hello TripBee

    Thank you for participating in the Microsoft Community, I am Skypper G. I am an independent advisor, let me help you with this.

    A hand pop up will show on the menu bar on teams when some one raise the hand and if you go to members you will see who raised the hand.

    If you don't see this feature check the MS Teams Updates and make a Sign out - Sign in on the Teams App

    I'm having the same issue. There isn't even an option for the hand.

    I've reinstalled Teams without any luck and am running Android 10 version QPFS30.130-15-11-10.

    Additionally, I've verified on both iPad and PC applications that raising a hand still is an option, all in the same meeting.

    Here is what appears when selecting the additional options:

    Hi Skypper G,

    Thanks for your help.

    I have seen the pop-up before, so I know it can work for me. I just didn't see it in a meeting today and was wondering why it's not consistent.

    I'll see if it appears in my next meeting - thanks :-)

    Good afternoon,

    I am experiencing a similar problem. I'm using an iPad Air 2 with Microsoft Teams installed ( with the latest updates). 

    However I have to reinstall Microsoft Teams every day in the morning to be able to use the raise hand function.

    Is there a solution for this? 

    Thanks in advance!
