I want to contribute without interrupting the conversation in a Microsoft Teams meeting. How can I do that?

During a meeting, you can raise your hand virtually to let people know you want to contribute without interrupting the conversation.


Raise your hand

In the meeting controls at the top of the screen, select Raise raise hand icon. Everyone in the meeting will see that your hand is raised.

Meeting presenters will also receive a notification that your hand is raised. In meetings where attendees can't unmute themselves, a presenter can allow you to unmute.
