Is there a way to TURN OFF the Raise Hand Feature all together? I already removed the reactions button on settings, but now a lone Raise hand feature remains. I would like to remove this because we have some questions with selected people ready to answer and if the atendees raise their hand, the selected people will move out of the "host order" and place the people who raise their hand at the beginning on "gallery view". Thank you!

Hey @aamtz90 unfortunately, there is no setting that disables the feature of raising your hand in a meeting. Basically, a raised hand is prioritized by hand raised from first to last and placed in front of the host's window order. Suggest submitting your feedback to https:/zoom.us/feed and sharing your experiences for the option of 'raise hand'
Follows host video order with the guest in front of the host window
Host raising hand and placed in front still following host order.
If participants lower their hands, the window order will revert back to the host's order.

In a Webinar (not meeting) - is it possible to disable the Raise Hand feature?

Hi @DavidM247 looking into our KB on Raising your hand in a webinar, If you're the webinar host, you can disable the raise hand feature and manage participants that raise their hand.

Are they considering adding the disable feature to meetings as well as webinars? The bombers are using the raise hand to bounce around and move tiles so it is pretty much impossible to remove the bomber. Do you have a suggestion for meetings?

Unfortunately, Zoom bombers have learned the trick of rapidly raising and lowering their hand while disrupting a meeting (they seem especially fond of 12-Step meetings). This moves their name up and down the participants list and also moves the position of their pane, making it very difficult to remove them. Please consider adding the option for hosts to disable Raise Hand is meetings, like they can in webinars. Thanks!

Are you able to disable hand-raising from all participants at once in a webinar? We don't want to answer questions this way, only through the Q&A.

Yes, you can disable it for all attendees. make sure the checkmark is removed next to raise hand.
