Hi there,
We run very large zoom meetings of up to 1000 participants and when people want to ask questions they use the raise hand function. This causes all the little participant videos to constantly shuffle around on the gallery view and this is very disturbing for our presenters.
Is there a way for the individual video windows to not shuffle around so much?
Thank you in advance
With love,
Anand

Hello,
This is by design and many (most?) of us find it very useful.
When interacting with about 25 or 49 or fewer participants , it is possible to see all your participants at once in Gallery View. Therefore, you may be able to have participants simply physically raise their hands in their videos in order to signal to you that they want to share something.
However, once the number of participants in a Zoom session increases, it will become more difficult to see who has their hand raised; further, you may not be able to see everyone’s video at the same time in Gallery View. This is when Zoom’s “Raise Hand” function can be useful.
Once you understand how the sort works it becomes a useful function.
Names in the Participants panel appear in the following order:
Perhaps rely on the Zoom meeting Q&A function instead.

Thank you for your response. The issues is when we have large meetings with 1000 people as soon as anyone raises their virtual hands all the participants on each page shuffle around. Its useful to have all the raised hands on the first page but for every page to shuffle around constantly is very distracting. There must be a way for the algorithm for this to not happen, please help.
