Raised Hand Timestamps in Zoom Webinar

Hello ​@Irma Isayan,

Welcome to the Zoom Community! 
 

Zoom for Government webinar reporting doesn’t currently provide a built-in way to add/display a timestamp for the exact moment each attendee clicks Raise Hand, nor to include “raise hand time” as a field in webinar reports.

What you can do today is pull the standard webinar reports (e.g., participant/attendee reports) for auditing and recordkeeping. Steps are here: How to generate webinar reports.

Hi, ​@Irma Isayan.

I’m not a Zoom employee, so i don’t speak for Zoom, but I’ve been in the Zoom space long enough to have a sense of what’s possible, what’s difficult, and what’s impossible. What you’ve asked for clearly fits in the middle group, in my opinion.

The issue here is that it would be somewhat difficult to push that information onto the Participants window without overcrowding other information, and the use case for doing this is likely pretty small. The raised hands remain in order from the longest hand up at the top to the most recent hand up at the bottom, and this order is sufficient for the vast number of organizations.

What would be possible is for a developer to create an add-on app that would track and maintain a list of hands raised with times throughout the meeting, with an ability to view during the meeting and download afterward. If this is something you’re interested in, let us know. One of the other MVP/Super Champs is a developer and might be interested in this request. 

hi ​@Irma Isayan ,

Within the Zoom App SDK, there is a function which can be activated whenever a hand is raised.
I am not a Zoom employee but a developer champion, and I already have an app that prevents people from raising or lowering their hands to disrupt.
We can develop marketplace apps for this sort of thing

I am currently asking for suggestions on what we could also do around hands raised.

Your request is something we are looking at offering;
I posted this earlier and welcome your comments.

 

All the best
