Stop lowering my hand!

Breaking changes should never be enabled by default. This is really disruptive to most types of meeting I go to.

Hi

Agree....really really bad choice for Zoom to implement this...it's almost as if they don't understand how their own platform works in actual use.

Today I found that if I click the "reactions" bar again it will stop the countdowns....so no need to lower and raise hand, just stops the countdown and leaves hand raised.  While this is unreal that it's a way to disable this after the first time speaking and no one will ever remember fully....it worked for me today.  Just wanted to share....Thanks!

Yeah, this is a very poor implementation. Please add a way to turn this off as we raise our hands during stand ups.

Totally annoying feature, and makes commentary in a meeting really high-maintenance. Zoom can’t fix this soon enough. Best plan would be to make this stupid feature completely opt-in, rather than having us all have to opt out. How can we make Zoom fix this?

I can see where this feature could be helpful, but I attend daily meetings where one person is assigned to time speakers, and they need to unmute to alert the current speaker that their time is over.  If the person timing also has their hand up, their hand is taken down every time they unmute to mention the time.  This takes them out of the queue.  It would be FANTASTIC if people could turn this off for themselves individually in their own accounts, and if the host account could turn this off for the entire meeting.

Yeah this feature is really annoying. Please give us the option to turn it off on an individual level.

I agree with the people who comment before, That feature should not be automatically enable. sometime, the host will ask a question and the person will think before answering. the fact that the hand is lowered automatically, will also move the picture of person in the list and then all the other persons will have to search where is the participant who is talking is now. 

Please stop this annoying and disruptive practice of lowering hands. Thank you. 

ZOOM! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please give us the OPTION to use this feature or not!  IT DOES NOT WORK for meetings where attendees are in a queue, yet others comment "thank you" or "I heard you" when they are in the queue.  I've lost my place in queue so many times.  The STUPID 5 second alert is TEENY TINY - and unseen if you are paying attention to the speaker.  AT LEAST make the warning BIG and over the GALLERY so it is seen!!   But better yet, REMOVE this feature!! If not AT LEAST make it optional for meetings where it works.   PLEASE!  

I agree this is an awful feature! Please change back to how it was previously. Let us be responsible for raising and lowering our hands during a meeting.
